I have a suspicion (and its only that) that, that
the variable that is not defined is dist=

This used to point to an auto generated html path on the
bell-labs server. It was to ensure people could only download
plan9 if they clicked through a disclaimer.

If I am right you need to use a Windows machine to edit the
file plan9.ini on the floppy - its a standard DOS format disk.
Add the line:

	installurl=http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/download/plan9.iso.bz2

and try again.

I am fairly sure, but not not definite this will work, however
if I am close I reckon someone will jump in and correct me :-)
