I tried plan 9 2nd ed.  and brazil and they failed to boot.  jmk
speculated that the AMD PCNET PCI Ethernet controller vmware emulates
is probably just different enough from the AMD 79C970 controller that
brazil supports to make it fail.  b.com sees the emulated IDE disk but
doesn't offer it as a boot device.
