I ran into the same error on an OpenBSD machine (qemu version 1.7.0),
and obviously that error is a known problem.
However, I was able to boot and install the plan9.iso after moving the
cdrom to the slave of the disk's ide.
For me, that looked like:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-drive file=9/Plan9.qcow2.img,if=ide,index=0,media=disk \
-drive file=9/plan9.iso,if=ide,index=1,media=cdrom -boot d
Hope that helps
