In the wiki there's a section on setting up a standalone fossil.
I use that way and boot everything else off the network.

But that involves creating a kernel with fossil (and venti, perhaps) on
it so you can boot that kernel from a fossil.

Drop a line again if you have problems following the procedure.

Hi,

I have managed to get up and running with venti and fossil. I can start them
in my cpurc and on the cpu server itself, can mount fossil.

Is there any way to start using fossil instead of kfs without building a
special kernel? Can I just bind a mounted /n/fossil over /? What is the
recommended way to run cpu/auth server and diskless terminals using the
fossil?

Thanks,
Robby
