I should have written more information on this subject.

virtualbox works fine with plan9 except that doesn=E2=80=99t 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=3D()
if(test -e /net/ether0/addr)
	ether=3D`{cat /net/ether0/addr}
sysname=3D`{ndb/query ether $ether sys}
if(~ $#sysname 0 || ~ $sysname ''){
	ip/ipconfig
	sysname=3Dcirno
	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=E2=80=99s ip =
address without manual intervention .

yes.
