With the iso I downloaded this week, I also get the issue that Eris points out.

Eris, if you want to give last years iso a try (20070329, it works
perfectly on MS Virtual Server R2 SP1), give me a shout and I'll put
it somewhere you can download it.

Many thanks for the offer, but I just don't have access to the required
bandwidth. I had downloaded the first ISO image at a facility with a
broadband connection. That luxury is currently out of question for me.
Anyhow, I had gotten Plan 9 running on QEMU until I gave up and just purged
the whole thing.

Microsoft Virtual PC has so far been fine for running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE,
NetBSD v3.0.1, SuSE Linux v9 and v10, Slackware Linux v10.1, PC-DOS 5.0,
and MS-DOS 6.22. So I guess Plan 9 is expecting something out of the
ordinary, or simply being too pedantic.

That's one way to look at it, or you can just realize that
emulators/virtualization *aren't* the same as real hardware.
