I should have written more information on this subject.

virtualbox works fine with plan9 except that doesn’t support ipv6.
we can share files using u9fs, and also we can cut&paste between host and guest (not perfect though).
virtualbox serves nat and bridge networks for the guest os.
net is much better for plan9 terminal on macbook because the plan9 terminal can look host (macbook) using fixed ip address, which makes automatic connection possible from guest to host.

there is a problem with current /rc/bin/termrc.
that does not work well for the terminals with dynamically assigned IP by dhcp server.
therefore I have /rc/bin/termrc.local with content:
if(! ~ $#kbmap 0)
	cp /sys/lib/kbmap/$kbmap /dev/kbmap
ether=()
if(test -e /net/ether0/addr)
	ether=`{cat /net/ether0/addr}
sysname=`{ndb/query ether $ether sys}
if(~ $#sysname 0 || ~ $sysname ''){
	ip/ipconfig
	sysname=cirno
	echo -n $sysname >/dev/sysname
}

probably we may have better solution.
I think some codes in the above /rc/bin/termrc.local should be moved into /rc/bin/termrc so that
plan9 terminals under non-plan9 environment can have it’s ip address without manual intervention .

yes.
