Hi,
i tried to get 9front on vmm by first installing on qemu into a qcow2,
then rebooted, edited plan9.ini to set  monitor=none and console=0 b115200.
In qemu the image starts up nicely and gives me a shell. 

With 
 vmctl start -c 9front 
the last thing printed is 
 bootfile=9pc64
 bootargs=local!/dev/sd00/fscache
 monitor=none
 boot

And then       Silence.

Searching the web suggests that several people succeeded. But how??

Best regards

Matthias

OpenBSD 6.7 (I assume you are running this version) has a few bugs that
9front exposes pretty quickly [1]. These bugs were recently corrected
(and will be in 6.8). You can also install without doing the qemu dance!

This page helped me a lot http://ftrv.se/5 and I use OpenBSD-current.
