The new file server fossil (built into the 9pccpuf kernel)

up such a system.

For weeks I search how to build one. From what I read (including wiki) I
was sure that I must see a configfs prompt.
It's the same way as I build a cpu server (listen on 564 for fossil)?
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).
It's not really clear to me how it works.
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. ;-)

Thank you very much!
