Steve
I compiled the 9pcdisk kernel for the diskless term not
the 9pc kernel - and loaded it onto my floppy.
my plan9.ini was something like:
ether0=type=ne2000 irq=15
auth=10.5.1.18
fs=10.5.1.19
bootargs=il -g 10.5.1.15 /net/ether0 10.5.1.20 255.255.255.0
the all the standard stuff...
dont used the dhcp or dns stuff yet till u get the above working
also on my auth server make sure that port 17008 is listening
