For the record, running fossil on top of a network loaded 9pcdisk
(with the necessary tweaks to recognise the SCSI controller - added
below unless I forget), seems just fine.  Not that I've done anything
extraordinary with it, not a Venti in sight, for example.

I just want the machine to be self-contained and running a CPU
kernel, so I still need a solution to my problem.  My feeling is
that somehow the partition information is not being read correctly,
but there isn't any obvious reason for it.

If no one has a better suggestion, I'll try to add debugging
information to 9load and the various kernels and watch what happens,
over the weekend.
