this file isn't present on the iso.  dossrv posts this srv entry when it runs.
one dossrv makes the dos entry in /srv.

this directory is served by dossrv.  if you haven't expressly mounted something
on /n/9fat, nothing will be there.

this is probablly hard to follow in the abstract, so here's an example:

        ladd# lc /srv
        boot            cs              dns             factotum                
slashn
        consoles                cs_net.alt      dns_net.alt     ratify

no /srv/dos there.

        ladd# dossrv
        dossrv: serving #s/dos
        ladd# lc /srv/dos
        boot            cs              dns             dos             ratify
        consoles                cs_net.alt      dns_net.alt     factotum        
        slashn

now we have dossrv running. but /n/9fat doesn't appear automaticly, we have
to mount it:

        ladd# mount /srv/dos /n/9fat /dev/sdE0/9fat 
        ladd# lc /n/9fat
        4e              9LOAD           9pccpu.gz       plan9.ini
