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.
