oh, great, the use of variables user=<user_name> and
nobootprompt=local!#S/sdC0/fs make something like autologin
in Plan 9!
thanks for response Russ
P.S. I really like undocumented features_

rootdir and rootspec have nothing to do with the
root is from prompt. they're documented in plan9.ini(8).
if typing one extra keystroke really bothers you that much,
you can use the undocumented
nobootprompt=local!#S/sdC0/fs
to do away with the prompt. (it exists really only for
the install floppy, where doing away with the boot
prompts was helpful because then they don't have to
be explained.)

hello,
sorry for yet another stupid question from me,
I can't find suitable examples of using the plan9.ini
variables rootdir and rootspec in man and 9fans archives. I
use standalone terminal system (in VMware) and I want to
dispose the prompt: ``root is from
(local)[local!#S/sdC0/fs]'' when booting.
hope to see your responses :)
