this is i use for ken fs, for fossil you will need to s/il/tcp/g.
bootfile=ether0!tyty!/386/9pccpu.gz
bootargs=il
nobootprompt=il
but the real secret sauce is in /lib/ndb/local. the easiest
way to do things is with an ipnet entry something like
ipnet=example.com
ip=10.0.0.0 ipmask=/96
fs=myfs.example.com
gw=gw.example.com
auth=auth.example.com
dns=10.0.0.2
dnsdomain=example.com
ipgw=10.0.0.1
it's important that ndb/ipquery returns reasonable answers
for fs and auth for your cpu server.
