PREPARATION

# lsr
# This is for the cputype "386". Fill in your appropriate value.
ramfs;
hget http://swtch.com/lsr.c > /tmp/lsr.c;
cd /tmp;
8c lsr.c;
8l -o lsr lsr.8;
cp lsr /386/bin/lsr;

rm lsr.8;

# lsrupd
hget http://www.r-36.net/lsrupd > /rc/bin/lsrupd;
chmod 775 /rc/bin/lsrupd;

MIRRORING SOURCES

# The example mirrors sources to /dist/sources.
9fs sources;
lsrupd /dist/sources /n/sources;

THE CRONJOB

# This example assumes "bootes" being able to access /dist/sources.
# The cronjob will be done every night at 0:00 on the computer.
# In the factotum of "cron" needs to be a key for accessing sources.
echo '0 0 * * * local {9fs sources; lsrupd /dist/sources /n/sources; \
unmount /n/sources}' >> /cron/bootes/cron;

Have fun.
