Just FYI, I wanted to verify that this works and I just did.
Having a 9vx function as the fs for an Ovaro (TI OMAP)
sudo ~/src/plan9/vx32/src/9vx/9vx -r ~/src/9vx-0.12/
The sudo is important.
Then in the 9vx instance:
aux/listen1 -v tcp!*!564 /bin/exportfs -s
Then I boot the Ovaro:
Filename '9beagletxt'.
Load address: 0x80310000
Loading: #################################################################
#########################

Bytes transferred = 1315056 (1410f0 hex)
Overo # tftpboot 80300000 0015c928d6a1

and then it all comes up with prompts:

The point being that 9vx is a perfectly capable way to have an fs
for all your service needs :-)
Thanks to Geoff for his infinite patience with my questions ...
