Is it possible that a terminal or cpu server
mount a file system other than `filsys main'
as its root file system?
I am building an environment mixed with 3rd and 4th ed,
while using a same file server (successfully updated to
4th ed. fs kernel) for both editions.
I foolishly booted a 4th ed. terminal from the file server.
Of course, it didn't boot because the file system `main' had
(and still has) the 3rd edtition contents.
Thank you.

Yes. You can set rootspec= and rootdir= in your plan9.ini.
The defaults are of rootspec='' and rootdir=/root.
At boot time, the kernel executes
mount /srv/boot /root $rootspec
bind $rootdir /
