I am Plan9 beginner with Unix background too. So I understand your
feeling. I am happy for every step forward. So I am able to add a 
second disk to the Plan9 standard installation. I am able to
make the fdisk/prep/fcons of the disk but I am not able to mount 
the disk in the filesystem. Or I am able to get aquarela working 
but
I have only read access. At that point (when I do not find the
next step to this topic) I go to another topic and work there and
hopefully make a success. So I have every day a success. During 
working on other topics I find solutions for my old problems too. 
That 
is the way I am learning Plan9. Aside this I am trying to 
understand
how Plan9 works and start reading the source code of Plan9. So if 
nothing 
is going forward in Plan9 then I am programming in C (on Plan9) and 
so on.   

Regards,
Wolfgang
