-** Copy README, disk1, disk2.vd, disk3.vd, and disk4.vd to the VirtualBox host machine. 
-** disk1 (rename to disk1.img) is a boot-able diskette, and used to configure the C:\plan9\plan9.ini or D:\plan9\plan9.ini 
-** disk2.vd, disk3.vd, and disk4.vd are files that must be copied to new diskettes (disk2.img, disk3.img and disk4.img). 
- 
-=== Notes: 
- 
-* Create a blank floppy.img with VirtualBox, for use with FreeDOS: 
-** Floppy Drive Device 0: 
-** Choose/Create A Virtual Floppy Disk... 
-** Floppy Disk Selector (Popup) 
-** Create Disk Image (Icon) 
-** File Path: (rename the floppy.img as needed) 
-** Size: 1.44 
-** Format disk as FAT 12 
- 
-* Create three copies of the new blank floppy.img (disk2.img, disk3.img, disk4.img): 
-* Copy  disk2.vd to the disk2.img 
-* Copy  disk3.vd to the disk3.img 
-* Copy  disk4.vd to the disk4.img 
- 
-=== A VirtualBox host copy example: 
----- 
-$ sudo mkdir /media/floppy1/ 
-$ sudo mount -o loop disk2.img /media/floppy1/ 
-$ sudo cp disk2.vd /media/floppy1/disk2.vd
