Re: [9fans] Ken Fileserver problem

Erik's FS does not take NVR from floppy. That's why Erik
suggested that you create a small 9fat partition (using
the Plan 9 Install/Boot CD) on your primary master HDD
and put the NVR on that. I suppose you should also be
able to put the rest of your files in that partition and just
boot directly from that.
