For this specific case it happens that we repackaged
the installation archive after I fixed 9660srv,
so you could download a new installation archive,
write it to a CD, mount the CD on /n/dist, and then run

	cp /n/dist/dist/replica/cd /tmp/cd
	chmod +x /tmp/cd
	disk/kfscmd allow
	replica/pull /tmp/cd
	disk/kfscmd disallow

I realize that's a large amount of data to grab
to get such a small fix (I would just live with the
broken 9660srv, in this case).

We don't have a good story for you in general.
We assumed that people would be connected to the
network while running Plan 9.  It would take a
non-trivial amount of work to reverse that
assumption.

Sorry.
Russ
