While embedding root-filesystems to create a l= ive-USB using paqfs I found some interesting behavior :
Starting your user file server with 

*argp++ =3D "userfsrv";
*argp++ =3D "-S" ;
*argp++ =3D "ufsrv" ;
*argp++ =3D "-f" ;
*argp++ =3D partition ;
for(i=3D1; i<bargc; i++)
*argp++ =3D bargv[i];
*argp =3D 0;

exec("/boot/userfsrv", arg);
fatal("can't exec userfsrv");

and using :

int nfd=3Dopen("#s/ufsrv"=
, ORDWR) ;
return nfd ;

works, while using -i to connect over std= io (-pipes) does lead to a version error in devmnt

Using this method its quite simple to create a bootable USB (insta= ll-) live Stick from within 9legacy or 9vx.

I didn't have the time to search for the reason behind this changed b= ehaviour in devmnt.

With this workaround I= created a bootable install CD from the 9legacy ISO for devices which don&#= 39;t have CDROM devices.
