3.1 - Selecting Hardware
.R
.ihtml h2

Selecting appropriate hardware to run your 9front system on is important, as it can mean the difference between success and failure of a project. Fortunately, most common PC hardware is at least minimally functional in Plan 9 (excluding certain exotic audio, VGA, and WiFi devices). Nowadays, thanks to
.ihtml a <a href="http://man.9front.org/8/9boot">
.CW 9boot (8),
.ihtml a
.ihtml a <a href="http://man.9front.org/8/realemu">
.CW realemu (8),
.ihtml a
and the VESA driver, it is at least very likely that your PC will boot. In addition, most popular virtualization platforms are reasonably well supported.

9front has been tested on several virtual machines. Details below.

Note:

As a general rule it is a good idea to manually specify a unique MAC address for each virtual machine instance running on the network, to avoid collisions.

User networking is the default and works the same on every platform. More advanced options are particular to specific host operating systems; several are described below.

.B
Note:
.R
On many operating systems ICMP is limited to the superuser. One consequence is that a VM running with guest networking cannot ping remote hosts.

If you want to enable internet access enable NAT forwarding on the linux host (as root).

To do this, first globally enable forwarding:
.P1
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
.P2
Enable Masquerading for everything comping from the VM's tap device (eth0 being your host's way to the internet):
.P1
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
.P2
block everything else from being forwarded:
.P1
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

.ihtml ul <ul>
just tried with vbox 4.3.18 on windows7.  9front boots fine in BIOS
mode, but the PCnet nic dosnt work.  reason is that vbox pIIx pci irq
routing is fucked so the ethernet doesnt get interrupts. if i boot
with *nopcirouting=1, it works fine. theres a option to select the
chipset so i tried ICH9 with IO-APIC enabled.  normal mp mode fails
because of broken mp tables, but works with *acpi=.  also, it works
with UEFI mode (which always uses ACPI).  the usual intel mt server
nic also works (thats what is usually recommended for working arround
the broken ethernet).

pci routing issue has been fixed in latest kernel, should be
available in iso release after 3960.
