failure to mount on Mac OS X 10.9.5 #11

Description

I'm having trouble getting mac9p to work on OS X 10.9.5.

I installed mac9p from the released installer.

Next, I tried mounting a 9p server on the command line using the commands given in the README, but I got an error:

$ mkdir /tmp/sources
$ mount -t 9p -onoauth 9p.io /tmp/sources
mount: exec /System/Library/Filesystems/9p.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_9p for /private/tmp/sources: No such file or directory

And indeed, there is no /System/Library/Filesystems/9p.fs:

$ ls -l /System/Library/Filesystems/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  6 root  wheel  204 Nov 11  2013 AppleShare
drwxr-xr-x  7 root  wheel  238 Nov 11  2013 NetFSPlugins

drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  136 Nov 11  2013 ntfs.fs
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  102 Sep 19  2013 smbfs.fs

drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  136 Nov 11  2013 webdav.fs

However, it does exist in /Library/Filesystems/:

$ ls -l /Library/Filesystems/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  102 Oct 15  2015 9p.fs
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  102 Sep  8 20:51 NetFSPlugins

So, I made a symbolic link in /System/Library/Filesystems/:

$ cd /System/Library/Filesystems/
$ sudo ln -s /Library/Filesystems/9p.fs .

But now it fails in a new way:

$ mount -t 9p -onoauth 9p.io /tmp/sources
mount_9p: /Library/Extensions/9p.kext/Contents/Resources/load_9p failed: No such file or directory
mount_9p: No such file or directory

Although the file mentioned exists:

$ ls -l /Library/Extensions/9p.kext/Contents/Resources/load_9p
-rwsr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  9124 Oct 15  2015 /Library/Extensions/9p.kext/Contents/Resources/load_9p

So I'm not sure what to do next.
