Thanks to all for the help on this.  It is now working.  The things that
I had to do:

    1)	specify my ether address with *lower case* letters in /lib/ndb/local

    2)	make sure that "aux/listen tcp" was called (not
	"aux/listen /net/ether")  My confusion here was that the man page
	talked about /net/dk being the default network, so I had used
	/net/ether, which only produced "Giving up on /net/ether!*!*"

In my /rc/bin/termrc file I modified the entry

	case NCR* 'AT&TNSX'* generic*

to have:

        if(test -e /net/ether/clone) ip/ipconfig
+       if(test -e /net/ether/clone) aux/listen tcp

I also changed it to add the hd1swap device rather than hd0swap device as
I installed Plan 9 on my second IDE disk.
