Any particular reason for that? I'm asking simply because
ramfs appears to be quite broken on my system. In fact,
I can't make it work at all. Has it bitrotted?

That, actually, seems to work fine. Although I'm about

by default 9pserve only listens on an AF_UNIX socket what
would be the best way to connect it to the AF_INET one?
