Hi,

There are many issues to be addressed in porting Coda to AXP.

The first thing to do is to type Fid (i.e. Volume, Vnode and Unique) uint32.
Error returns should become ints (they are currently longs).  Then you
should be able to run Potemkin (a mini fake Coda client and server that
gives the kernel the impressions that Coda is there but it is in fact
serving a directory on the local disk).

After that RPC2 needs similar adaptation, and then the rest will follow.
