Hello and welcome on board!
I'll suggest that you better use the preloaded image of plan 9
avaliable on oszoo.org ... Installing Plan 9 on qemu can be very slow
because of the lack of DMA transfers.

In /usr/$user/lib/profile you can do so... But I think that some apps
require extra settings, like acme (-F option, then dump ;) )
