Yes.

9pccpuf is a CPU server kernel with fossil.  You set up the system as
you do with a CPU server.  (You might want to disable some services in
/rc/bin/service and /rc/bin/service.auth if you already have a
CPU/Auth server).

You can mostly follow
http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Configuring_a_standalone_CPU_server/index.html

Just ignore
http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Installing_a_Plan_9_File_Server/index.html
because this is about the old WORM file server /sys/src/fs.

When the system is running, you find a 'fileserver' console by
connecting to /srv/fscons.

# con /srv/fscons

See fossilcons(8) for what to do there and how to make fossil listen
to the network.

Hope this helps and isn't too verbose, finally. ;-)
