I'm working through the Plan 9 documentation at
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/documentation/index.html.

I'm running Plan 9 in QEMU in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex.

qemu plan9jim.img -k en-us -no-reboot

I have to wait a few seconds before responding to each prompt, to avoid
having it freeze and losing the keyboard and mouse.

- whatever that means.

Too bad. Some of the instructions in the documentation, and some of the
ideas in the responses to my posts, depend on being connected to the network
and the Internet.
