One idea is to install plan9 from scratch on a different qemu
image and give this image to qemu as the second disk (option
-hdb). If the venti arenas are in mostly good shape you can
try playing with venti/wrarena. You can probably try this
from your host OS using p9p venti. Or you can write ventidb
(ala fsdb for debugging FFS on *BSD) that will allow you to
interactively navigate venti. And may be something similar
for fossil? No idea if any of this would work but this will
keep you busy for a while.
