I think this must be a different failure mode than the 9pfs bug that
caused #1071456, then. A similar setup is working well for me, on unstable,
but I was getting similar timeouts intermittently in the past.
Adding --debug and/or --show-boot after qemu on the command line might
provide useful information?
I wonder whether it's significant that you seem to be using an i386
user-space on an amd64 kernel. (Intentionally?)
