the fileserver can be a bit gruff if unconfigured. :-)
you'll need an nvr file and plan9.ini entry like this
nvr=ph0"9fat"!fs.nvr
(old style: nvr=hd!0!9fat!fs.nvr) — assuming that you have
an ata disk with a 9fat partition with a fs.nvr file in it.
you can create this with the plan 9 install cd. the fs
can't create this for itself.
