However, Andrey helpfully pointed me to the u9fs man page at http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/4/u9fs which says that the u9fs source is in /sys/src/cmd/unix/u9fs, which I grabbed from my install CD. It compiled without a hitch on my FreeBSD box (although I haven't yet had a chance to test it). Which leads me to my next question: At the end of the install I didn't make a boot floppy (I forgot that my XP partition isn't FAT) and wonder what the best way to boot my new 9 partition is?
