One more attempt: I'd be glad to know if I am heading into the right  
direction:
* I added
	venti=/dev/sdC1/arenas
to my plan9.ini, and now it started up without error messages. From  
/dev/kmesg I read, after entering my user name:
	time...
	venti...err 2: arenas creation time after last write time
	fossil(#S/sdC1/fossil)...version...time...
	
	init: starting /bin/rc
	ndb/dns: can't read my ip address
and then I could start my normal session. There is a huge disc activity  
now: is it syncing the arenas with the fossil? Am I getting something  
right? :)
