I have been running Plan 9 in QEMU for the past 
few days and it has worked well.  I put changes on 
sources a few days ago that correct some problems
with the ethernet and disk simulation.  I think I also
fixed the dreaded "hangs under VMware unless there
is a CD in the drive" bug too.

It just boots: qemu -cdrom plan9.iso -boot d
You can only select graphics depths of 8bpp
(e.g., 1024x768x8).
