One of my fileserver is booting from fossil+venti and this is
the only filesystem on the server.  Both of fossil and venti
are started by the kernel.

It is tricky to take the first archival snapshot.  Many reported
the system looked hanged for hours when the first snapshot was
taking place on the fossil from which the kernel had booted.

Therefore, I prefer booting from CD-ROM, get venti and fossil
running, taking the first snapshot, shutting down the system,
rebooting from the fossil+venti.

Fileservers should be reliable. :)
