Please don't do this.  Use what's already there.

	9fs batida
	bind -c /n/batida /n/inst
	mount /srv/9660 /n/dist /path/to/plan9.iso
	replica/inst -v /dist/replica/inst

If /dist/replica/inst doesn't exist on your system (it should; it used to
be on sources, at least) you can try something else.  You don't even really
need the CD (except to be nice to the labs).  Ostensibly, you could just
do:

	mount -c /srv/batida /n/inst
	9fs sources
	bind /n/sources/plan9 /n/dist
	replica/inst -v /dist/replica/inst

I do something like that to update my fileserver from sources all the time.
