Ok... here we go again.
The file server is running on a machine with 20 Megs of memory.
Its a 100 Mz 486.
I configure it according to the docs:
config: service kelvin
config: ip ....
config: ipgw ...
config: ipmask ...
config: config w6
config: filsys main w6
config: ream main
config: end
At this point the system takes over as it should:
sysinit
config w6
devinit D6.0.6.0
>From here on it just hangs ad infinitum.

0. The scsi disk is on scsi device #6 - it works - I have
put "Doze" on it - it booted up fine... I repartitioned so
that there weren't any partition on the drive.
Should there be partitions or is devinit supposed to
do that?
1. This happens with 3 separate 9pcfs that I've tested.
a. (distribution)
b. (9pcfs binary from ftp://plan9.att.com/plan9/update/fs/pc
c. The binary that I built with the line for conf.nfiles changed to
10000 instead of 300000
2. It acts the same when I pull the ethernet card out.
3. It acts the same when I plug the ethernet card into the net
4. The machine has no difficulties running plan9 standalone.
I'm a little confused by the documentation...
What's the difference between a Unit and Target ID? In the Unix world
that kind of makes sense... in the the PC world... with a single scsi
card... its not clear how that maps to Units. I'm assuming that Target ID
refers to SCSI ID.
