i create a file system pretty much simply on my vm by

% cat 9frontXYZ.iso > /dev/sdC0/data

and that works pretty well and boots a p9 vm from C

but... I cannot create a dir (only in /tmp), so...I have tried:

% mkdir /tmp/C

% 9660srv

% mount -c /srv/9660 /tmp/C /dev/sdC0/data

% mkdir /tmp/C/conors_source_code_al

but it is still not writeable... yes! there are binds but

I need a perm. % mkdir /tmp/C/conors_source_code_et_al

effectively % mkdir /conors_source_code_et

as /tmp/ disappears each time I boot - /c 12:03-080723
