hi,
has anyone managed to install plan9 successfully on Mac using Parallels
Desktop 4.0 for Mac?
i tried in two ways:
- i had a temporary plan9 installation on Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac.
After upgrade to 4.0, i tried to convert this one and use it on Parallels
version 4.0. it displays the line on NE2000 ethernet port and then crashes.
- next, i created a new VM and tried to install from plan9 CD image. During
CD boot, like the above, it displays the line on NE2000 ethernet port and
then crashes.
I remember in Parallels 3.0, I disabled VT-x but in 4.0, I couldnt disable
it.
any clues?
thanks
dharani

I don't think you can. It's RTL8029 (=ne2k) or nothing.

I ran into something similar running Inferno on qemu. If I
tried to use the ne2k interface, it had heartburn, but it
worked just fine with the rtl8139. I never did track down
why. But if you can tell parallels to use a different network
"card" it's worth a try.

I had the same experience. I managed to run a networkless Plan 9
under Parallels 4 by disabling the ethernet driver in both kernel and
9load. But attempting to enable ne2000 crashes it. Didn't have time
to investigate further (and the free license period has expired so I
probably won't).
Vmware Fusion works fine.
But 9vx is even better.
