If you are using fossil, use
sdC0!9fat!9pccpuf
with the right file in 9fat. I can find no ability in
9load to get a kernel from a fossil partition. There
does still seem to be an ability to boot from a kfs
partition calles 'fs'. 9load does not seem to have
forgotten how to do that.
Perhaps the confusion is that we now use fossil as the
default file system and people are expecting 9load to
load kernels from it due to kfs instructions in the
wiki?
The wiki is always out of date. As far as I can tell
it is a 'fire and forget' document. Read it with a grain
of salt.

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'm using kfs not fossil.
i guessed that from kernel's name
