I know this should be simple and obvious, but I'm too stupid to get it :-P

I have a server with a cwfs64x spread across a pair of disks.

/dev/sdF0/9fat, ctl, data, fscache, nvram, plan9, raw
/dev/sdG0/ctl, data, fsworm, other, plan9, raw

I broke /lib/namespace enough to make it unbootable.  I'm booting off an ISO install image, which is fine, but I can't for the life of me figure out the incantation to fire up a cwfs64x that will let me mount that filesystem from the installer image.  I'm assuming there's a '-f foo' that will make this work, but I sure as hell can't figure it out.  cwfs(4) says there's a default /dev/sdC0/cwfs, but I don't have any partitions anywhere named 'cwfs'.  What on earth am I missing here?

And there is.  It's called the full pathname: /dev/sdF0/fscache, not just fscache.

Sorry for the noise :-P
