Subject: terminal not sending auth requests

I've been trying to boot a terminal using u9fs as the root server, and Pace's
IL implementation for the auth server. However, the terminal doesn't appear
to be making any attempt to contact the auth server. I suspect that because
the root is a TCP address, and the auth server is an IL address, the IL
system isn't getting configured. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me,
because a quick glance at the code reveals that the tcp and il config()
routines both do the same thing.

However, if I give an il!a.b.c.d address for root, and w.x.y.z for auth, then
the terminal does an arp for the auth address. If I change the root address
to tcp!a.b.c.d, then the arp isn't attempted, and the terminal immediately 
complains
that it can't contact the auth server.
