I came across something similar when installing latex. 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.
