Right, but how do you get your root file system if it's on a fs(3) device? It looks like it should work, with connectlocalfossil just a few lines after the bind in connectlocal, but that doesn't seem to actually work for me. init.c (and thus /cfg/*) are much later in the process.

I'm not sure about the "usual" way, but I've got the listens in cpurc commented out and rely only on entries in /cfg/whatever/cpustart. Does your cpustart listen specify -d as well as -t? It looks like giving only -t should make it not try (or re-try in your case) the non-trusted ones. Anthony
