recently the /spim directory for little endian mips was
commited to the repository. sysupdate will create this
directory under /dist/plan9front as the namespace (and cwfs)
prevent it from creating directories in /.

there will be no error message and no harm is done. just
for the people who wonder whats going on :)

anyway, this can be fixed easily:

# mount fs root with create flag
mount -c /srv/boot /n/root

# try to create the directory
mkdir /n/root/spim

# the above will likely fail on cwfs as / as permission
# 0755 so adm group has no write access... check:
#  ld -ld /n/root
#
# give the adm group write access to /
#  echo allow >> /srv/cwfs.cmd
#  chmod 0775 /n/root
#  echo disallow >> /srv/cwfs.cmd
#
# now try again. alternatively, you can create the
# directory on the fs console directly:
#  echo cfs main >> /srv/cwfs.cmd
#  echo create /spim adm adm 0775 d >> /srv/cwfs.cmd

# copy
dircp /dist/plan9front/spim /spim

# get rid of the old one
rm -r /dist/plan9front/spim


trust, but verify.
