Please don't apologize. You are the one guiding the blind.

Aha! Maybe I finally got it. At least no errors:

su# con -l /srv/fscons
prompt: fsys new config /dev/sdE1/fossil
fsys new config /dev/sdE1/fossil
prompt: fsys new open -AWVP
fsys new open -AWVP
>>> q

su# mount /srv/boot /n/old main
su# mount /srv/boot /n/new new
su# disk/mkfs -s /n/old -d /n/new -U -r
file system made

su# con -l /srv/fscons
prompt: fsys new sync
fsys new sync
	new sync: wrote 0 blocks
prompt: fsys new halt
fsys new halt
>>> q

Now let's see if it boots.
