the fileserver can be a bit gruff if unconfigured. :-) you'll need an nvr file and plan9.ini entry like this nvr=ph0"9fat"!fs.nvr (old style: nvr=hd!0!9fat!fs.nvr) — assuming that you have an ata disk with a 9fat partition with a fs.nvr file in it. you can create this with the plan 9 install cd. the fs can't create this for itself. - erik
