This happens because the fossil config file burnt onto the start of the fossil
partition does not contain a srv command, it is passed on the command line when fossil
is envoked.
/sys/src/9/boot/local.c:256
run("/boot/fossil", "-f", partition, "-c", "srv -A fboot", "-c", "srv -p fscons", 0);
You could start the bootable CDROM and then type:
% fossil/fossil -f /dev/sdC0/fossil -c 'srv -APW open' -c 'srv -p fscons'
% mount /srv/open /n/open
Your fossil filesystem should now appear in /n/open/active/ and all permission
checking will be turned off so you can fix anything you like.
It is definitely possible to boot using other boot managers, and you can even use
the NT/Win2k/XP boot manager though the installer only knows about FAT filesystems,
you will have to edit the files on NTFS partition by hand.
I suggest you check the 9fans archives there are several theads on this subject, E.G.
