I would bet that linux kernel isn't actually configured for the
raspberry pi -- it will be for a generic arm1176. The pi's processor isn't
an arm1176 exactly; it's a Broadcom bcm2835 videocore gpu, with an arm
core grafted on. It's highly unlikely that qemu knows how to emulate
this well enough for a native bcm kernel like 9pi to run successfuly.
The "emulating raspberry pi the easy way" is not really emulating the
pi, just using a generic arm kernel to run linux software from a
raspberry pi linux distribution image.
If you want to run 9pi, I recommend buying a raspberry pi. They aren't
expensive, and native Plan 9 is a much more rewarding experience.
