Sorry for the late response, Jeff. Apologies. I just booted up virtualbox.

I don't know. How do I find out? Is there an equiv of the Unix's fstab
somewhere? I looked a bit but couldn't find it. Still finding my way
around the system.

Yes, that gave me same error message.

Okay, I will clone it on another Unix system and copy it over into
plan9 for the time being.

Thanks.
