If anyone's curious about the new raspberry pi model announced this week,
I can confirm that it runs Plan 9 with no apparent problems. Compared to
the old model B, the B+ has some power supply improvements and two more USB
ports, which are said to make it work better with usb hard drives.

Is there a reasonably easy way to set up Plan 9 on the raspberry pi so that
the SD card is used only to boot the system, with all actual activity after
that run off of a USB hard drive (so as to avoid hassles related to wearing
out SD cards, slow/bad SD cards, etc.)?

just set nobootprompt=tcp (or il if that's what you use) in cmdline.txt.

Indeed. Raspi: B+, 9pi: A+ : )
For USB hard drives you'll need to add
max_usb_current=1
to config.txt as the default doesn't supply enough current. I
haven't measured its power use but it is supposed to be 0.5 to
1 Watt less.

You mean B+ may be able to use as a Plan9 file server?
