init 6 is a reboot beadm is just shell so you can download it and it will run i theory. It might use a few switches and flags that aren't available though so your mileage may vary. What you can do though is snap and clone your existing rootfs and present it in a format where it will work for 9 when you can use it. eg zroot/ROOT/9 If you have cloning issues and rsync of the base os to the new mountpoint should work fine as well, but use the -H flag as there are a few hard links in the os. This can be a bit more messy though depending on your setup.
