Are you using any virtual ethernet device with 9vx? Because if you are
not, 9vx will use the ip stack of the host. In this case, 9vx /net
will include some files, but ipselftab is not one of them.

You will also get errors if you try to run ndb/dns or ip/ipconfig from
a 9vx booted with 9atom or plan9. The difference is that they do not
try to start the network by default.

You could comment a few lines in termrc to avoid the error. Networking
should be working fine.
