define origin.  

locating the server isn't too hard.  if ndb is properly set up, then this 
should work

if '#ec/nobootprompt' or '#ec/bootargs' is il or tcp, then
        ; ndb/ipquery sys $sysname fs
        fs=lyons.quanstro.net 
else it's local, and you're done.

alternate method (potentially less reliable):

1.  grep '[     ](#s|/srv)/boot'.  if any process has it open, it's the file 
server, else
2. find a tcp or il connection with remote net!*!9fs, and that's your file 
server.
when in doubt, it's likely the lowest numbered fs.
