A single fossil may be serving more than one file system.  The prompt
is to remind you which is the "current" one (ie the one which will be
acted on by commands which are not prefixed by "fsys <name>").

The 9pi image has only one fossil partition, which is called main.
To see its configuration:
  fossil/conf /dev/sdM0/fossil

Have you studied http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/documentation/index.html
particularly the "Installation" and "Configuration" sections?  Most of it applies
to the raspberry pi exactly as for any other Plan 9 platform.

The "permission denied" occurs because you haven't mounted keyfs(4), and
you need to use fossilcons(8) to add your username to group "adm" before
you can do that.

Have a look at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Configuring_a_standalone_CPU_server
for a more complete picture.
