I have some plaintex code to run from the ConTeXt beta-distribution, because I 
didn't install the complete TeXp-distribution (and if possible prefer to keep 
it that way).

I did not fare well with running "texexec --make plain" and "mtxrun --script plain 
myfile.tex"
The first command does not give a sign of dumping the plain format somewhere, the second 
command complains "I can't find the format file luatex-plain.fmt"

It looks if I am on the wrong track for using luatex with plain. Will someone 
please be so kind to turn me in the right direction?

mtxrun --script plain --make

While you’re at it, could you please report back whether this
succeeds immediately or bombs out like so:

     Preloading the plain format: codes, registers, parameters, fonts, more 
fonts,
     ! Font \preloaded=manfnt not loadable: metric data not found or bad.
     <to be read again>
     \par

you can just hit return then ... for some reason manfnt is not in the distribution
