this is i use for ken fs, for fossil you will need to s/il/tcp/g.

bootfile=ether0!tyty!/386/9pccpu.gz
bootargs=il
nobootprompt=il

but the real secret sauce is in /lib/ndb/local.  the easiest
way to do things is with an ipnet entry something like

ipnet=example.com
	ip=10.0.0.0 ipmask=/96
	fs=myfs.example.com
	gw=gw.example.com
	auth=auth.example.com
	dns=10.0.0.2
	dnsdomain=example.com
	ipgw=10.0.0.1

it's important that ndb/ipquery returns reasonable answers
for fs and auth for your cpu server.
