You need a different 9load, pload(usually we use ppxeload). It's
included in the nix tree and will boot 32bit or 64bit kernels. Nix/9k
use /amd64/ binaries.
cd /sys/src; $objtype=amd64 mk installall
should work fine.
As to plan9.ini, you should just be able to set your bootfile to
/amd64/k8cpu. Here's one of mine:
bootfile=ether0!/amd64/9k8cpufs
