that's odd. it sounds like dossrv is not running.
otherwise /srv/dos would exist. if you're doing this
from the installer, you can trystarting it by hand
by typing "dossrv" at the prompt.
it may be that your iso is missing dossrv.

Thank you for your answer!
First I checked your suspicion and analyzed the iso for dossrv* and
found two files with name dossrv at 386/bin/ and at sys/man/4/ and a
directory named dossrv with some c-sources but without a dossrv-file.
Second I searched for the directory /srv/dos you mentioned in your mail
on the iso - it is not present there.
Third, I had the (somewhat late) idea to check the subdirectory n/9fat
and found it empty!! So one should not wonder about the error messages
given above.
Obviously there happened an error in the packaging of the iso. I think I
have to send a bug report to plan 9 and hope to find an appropriate
address for this. Because of that spam-pest such is growing harder and
harder!
Do you think that that empty directory is the real cause of my problem
or is that only one of many and I have to track the dossrv-problem
eventually as well? Beside there changed some directories with the new
version as I found in the history. So may be the home of dossrv has
chemged as well?
I found a bootdisk.img with 2.8 MB on the iso and I argue that I may
boot plan 9 from disk for the short term. ( If I get that disk prepared
without windows.) But I certainly prefer a boot from harddisk in the
long term.
Thanks again and regards
Bernhard
