 Long-term, I suggest migrating, although if you're on a single-system
 setup and already have data you care about, that can be a pain. In the
 short-term, check out lnfs(4) to get around this issue.

Thank you. Didn't know about lnfs and the kfs limitations. I wonder, why
then is the kfs, the default for 9atom. I see a fossil option while
installation as an experimental option. Will try that out.

Unfortunately, the labs ISO boots and gets stuck on my hardware.

one is expected to use the initial install to provision
a well-configured system.  the intial install can also serve
as a rescue image.  it's not intended as a long term solution.
i use ken's file server.
