The installer uses replica/pull and assumes you can write to the /n/kfs disk. Since newer plan 9 installs are fossil based to get around it I disabled permissions checking (by using fossil/conf /dev/sdC0/fossil to get the configuration and then adding -AWP and doing fossil/conf -w /dev/sdC0/fossil and reboot) and then copied the tex file that replica/pull uses and did s|/n/kfs|/|. Check what the installer does.
