I don't know what's on 9legacy.org. Copy the labs kernel from
/386/9pcf since after reboot it will support the updated labs
binaries that use nsec() syscall.

My assumption is you are running an old kernel with new
binaries.

9fat: will use the new binaries! Look at /rc/bin/9fat: and
follow the steps using the old binaries. The following may
be enough.


_dossrv
_mount -c /srv/dos /n/9fat /dev/sdC0/9fat

Unless dossrv is already running (use _ps) and /n/9fat is
already mounted, in which case you will have to _unmount it
and kill dossrv.
