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.
