we start additional ones from /rc/bin/termrc or /rc/bin/cpurc.  Just
run
	disk/kfs -f <partition> -n <name>
	mount -c /srv/kfs.<name> /wherever

The initial prep happens during 9load.  It leaves
just enough partition information around so that
the kernel knows about any Plan 9 and DOS partitions --
basically, whatever 9load knew about.

Echo $sdC0part to see the goo.

Thanks. Now I have enough room to play with GCC ☺

I hope I'm not being dense, but for the first kfs, where/when is the
prep executed?

[9fans] adding disks -- kfs

[Skip Tavakkolian]

Is there a convention for starting additional kfs's (i.e. additional
disks) and bind/mounting at proper places on startup?  I was hoping
for something in plan9.ini, but I don't see any support there.
I'm not sure where in termrc it would go either.

I think I understand how the initial /kfs gets started from (for
example) 9/pc/bootpcdisk.c calling through struct Method pointers to
configlocal() and connectlocal() in 9/boot/local.c; I can also see the
disk/fdisk and disk/prep executions in termrc but it seems those are
long after '/kfs' has started.  I consulted Nemo's 3r/ed Kernel Notes
document as well, and I'm still not sure of the kfs's moment of
inception.  I think I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks.
