this file isn't present on the iso. dossrv posts this srv entry when it runs.
one dossrv makes the dos entry in /srv.

this directory is served by dossrv. if you haven't expressly mounted something
on /n/9fat, nothing will be there.
this is probablly hard to follow in the abstract, so here's an example:
ladd# lc /srv
boot cs dns factotum
slashn
consoles cs_net.alt dns_net.alt ratify
no /srv/dos there.
ladd# dossrv
dossrv: serving #s/dos
ladd# lc /srv/dos
boot cs dns dos ratify
consoles cs_net.alt dns_net.alt factotum
slashn
now we have dossrv running. but /n/9fat doesn't appear automaticly, we have
to mount it:
ladd# mount /srv/dos /n/9fat /dev/sdE0/9fat
ladd# lc /n/9fat
