you do if the shell you are using is rc. admittedly, this would have looked better # mount -t 9p -o 'proto=tcp,name=root' 204.178.31.8 sources "sources" is a file name; it's the directory on which to mount. i've never known any shell on any os to require quoting of file names consisting of [a-z]+. though i'm sure this illustrates my ignorance of esoteric and difficult oses. - erik
