Lars: In other words, you decided to disable the use of Freelance mode which in turn requires that the 'root.afs' volume for the workstation cell be reachable in order for the AFS Client Service to start. Therefore, not only do you need to have the necessary network connectivity to reach the servers hosting that volume but you need to install the appropriate CellServDB file on the machine so that the AFS Client Service knows where to look. This is not something that OpenAFS can provide for you if your cell is not registered with grand.central.org.
Organizations that do not wish to register with grand.central.org are encouraged to distribute transformed versions of the installers distributed from openafs.org to their end users. The transforms should include the correct default cell name as well as the appropriate CellServDB file. The EXE version of the installer provides a mechanism to allow the end user to obtain the CellServDB file via a URL provided by the cell administrator or from an alternative path in local storage. If someone would like to contribute an enhancement to the installers to verify the existence of either an entry in the CellServDB file or AFSDB records for the specified workstation cell and if not found prompt the user to enter the appropriate values, please send patches to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that any such enhancement must be disabled during an automated install.
