In my opinion, that is exactly what you should do, at least at first.
Install Plan 9, follow the instructions on the wiki for setting
up a standalone CPU server. You'll be using the 9pccpuf kernel.
PXE booting isn't particularly hard, or you could install Plan 9
to the terminal's hard drive and specify root from the file server.
