  It was even longer in my case (5+ hours) which makes me
  wonder if there's a chance of making preinstalled disk
  images of plan9 under qemu available for a generic consumption,
  so that others do not have to waste that much time.

  How do you boot once Plan9 gets installed ? I had to resort to
  floppy disk boot, because it didn't really want to boot
  from a freshly installed HDD image.

Thanks,
Roman.
