I still have not received any information about how to explictly specify
the offset in a local!# statement. If nobody can answer this, perhaps the
following will work as a temporary fix until I can become more familiar with
the OS internals:

How does one make a binding that remains constant throughout all sessions? I
want to bind the volume I have created to / and keep it there during the life
of the system, and not just in the present environment. How can I do this?

thanks,

dc

I think you are asking how to make a change to the global
system namespace. The namespace is built from a combination
of /rc/bin/termrc, /rc/bin/cpurc and /lib/namspace. Modifications
to the two scripts cpurc and termrc will be visible in the
system namespace (bootes) and available to the listeners.
Modifications to /lib/namespace affect processes which call
newns(2) to establish a new namspace (cpu, telnet etc.).

I have no idea what the first part of your question is asking.
