 +** 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
