After receiving your mail I decided to try to get AFS working on
my laptop so what I did was.

Recompile kernel to enable XFS.
Create /afs mountpouint.
Create /var/spool/afs cache directory.
Edit /etc/rc.conf to enable AFS.

Reboot (it di not work until second reboot but that way have been
other problems.)

Getting the right Kerberos ticket I can access my files in
/afs/???.???.?? without problem.

So what are you missing? If you have gotten this far I do not
think you miss anything. If you whish to go further I think you
need a AFS server or admin tokens in a AFS cell atleast.

AFS server can be bought from transarc (IBM) [1] or you can try
to compile the free version OpenAFS. [2]

ThisCell either contains your CELL or a local that is public so
that you get a nice /afs tree.

I can also suggest the book "Managing AFS : The Andrew File
System", especially if you have no wizard to learn from.
