.TH LOADFOSSIL 8
.SH NAME
loadfossil - populate a fossil filesystem
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B loadfossil
.I fossil
.I root
.I proto
.I fossil.conf
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Loadfossil
formats the partition (or file)
.IR fossil
as a
.IR fossil (4)
file system,
populates it with files from
.I root
using the
.IR mkfs (8)
prototype file
.I proto
and installs the configuration in
.IR fossil.conf .
.PP
Simply declaring
.LR "fsys main config"
in
.I fossil.conf
takes the device name from
.L "fossil -f"
and avoids wiring it into the configuration.
.SH EXAMPLES
Create a standalone
.I fossil
root filesystem for a laptop from the local Plan 9 installation.
