As you may recall, I had to hack 9pcfs (fs/pc/pc.c) to not search more than
16MB of memory for my particular machine.  This allowed me to boot and
all appeared well.  When I started to try and load the distribution the
ethernet on the fs (a 3C509) would soon go away and not come back.  After
trying some hardware sorts of things I discovered that there was nothing
I could do that would fix this.  I recalled that I had a similar problem
with the original 9pcdisk, but that had gone away after installing all
the patches.  To make a long story short, I copied 9/pc/ether509.c
to fs/pc/ether509.c and did the quick obvious fixing to get it to compile.
My install worked flawlessly after that.
