There are a bunch of rough edges that need to be fixed.
This is one of them.  9vx provides a #I/cs so that you
can do things like hget without starting cs.  But it can't
translate auth domains via /lib/ndb, which factotum
needs it to do.  So you have to start the more full-featured
ndb/cs, but that mounts itself on /net using MAFTER
(a bug, if you ask me).  Because I knew I couldn't get
a fix to ndb/cs into the distribution in time, I made the
#I/cs file removable. 

Originally, the reason for providing #I/cs was to provide
access to host DNS lookups, just like it does in drawterm.
Now that there is a separate #I/dns (that ndb/cs will use),
it might be that the right thing to do is just toss away #I/cs
so that termrc will start a real one.

Another rough edge, if anyone wants a challenge, is that
gs goes into an I/O-free loop after reading the first 4k of
/sys/lib/ghostscript/gs_init.ps.  (I deleted gs from the 9vx
tar file to save space, so you'll have to run against a 
distribution tree instead.)
