In my home, I have only three machines, one for Win98, one for
RedHat Linux and the last for Plan 9 auth/kfs server.  All those
machines are within one network.

I followed the description of Wiki, and got half success booting
9pc termianl on the Win98/Linux machine using 9pc kernel.
I can boot diskless terminal when I got 9pc from the booting
floppy.   However, I failed to get the 9pc kernel from the net.
After running 9load, it waits forever...
In this network, only one dhcp server is running on the auth/kfs
server machine.

One more strange thing is that I can login as various users, but
the user seems to be read only as none on the kfs/auth server.
So, when I copy some file as okamoto (uid 1, instead of tor), the
owner of the file is always 'none'. Furthermore, I was not asked
password for login...  Probably, I'm doing something wrong.
This is my first attempt to use Plan 9 for only two machines...
