Did you recompile the kernel?  Fossil is compiled into the kernel
and started at boot time, so you'd have to rebuild the kernel to
get it going.

	cd /sys/src/9/pc
	mk 'CONF=pcf' 9pcf
	9fat:
	cp 9pcf /n/9fat/9pcf2
	acme -c1 /n/9fat/plan9.ini

and find the line

	bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcf

and add

	bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcf2

then when you boot you'll be asked which kernel you want.

That's weird.  Are you sure it was in -AP mode?  Can you use
touch successfully on those files?

Yes.
