Hi. Currently, the specific MFS to use is associated with the node
type. In red-dot mode, go to your nodecontrol_list.php3 page, and
click on the type. You will see dropdown menus for the admin MFS and
the frisbee MFS.

This assumes that these nodes are different node types. If they are
the same, then either you have to make up a new type for them, or do a
little hacking inside the system.
