Well if kfs is dead, long live fossil!  I'll reinstall with the fossil filesystem.  The bootfile in plan9.ini will now be:

bootfile:sdC0!fs!9pcauth

according to the wiki.  But also according to the wiki the menu bootfile in plan9.ini is:

bootfile:sdC0!9fat!9pcauth

Is this right?

And thanks,
Brian

when did 9load know enough to load kernels from kfs?

9load used to know about kfs, but apparently not anymore.
kfs is officially dead.
you'll have to copy the kernel over into 9fat and change the plan9.ini to read
	bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcauth
(note the lack of path, just bare filename)

i guessed that from kernel's name
