You should have answered to vice-setup about the name of your rootvolume,
it creates an implicit moutpoint at the root of your cell.

I think you should have a file /vice/db/ROOTVOLUME containing the name of
your rootvolume.

I think because you did not yet create any objects in Coda.

Your root volume should be in place after the server start, and it is,
according to your next letter:

Looks good.

Remember, this command is used in a client, and it does not help that you
are root - you have to have Coda credentials for the sufficiently powerful
account (that you have created in Coda database during your vice-setup).

clog should help you. You do not have to be logged in as root to do that.

A soon as you will be authenticated as the powerful account, you will have
sufficient rights on /coda/kryten.localdomain/

Good luck Ian!
