[9fans] plan9 on Sparc IPC ?

Pardon my erronious terminology.  The non b/w monitor output,
whatever it is.

The only kernel that works with the serial port (correct me if I'm 
wrong) is the one for the fileserver (9ssfs), and then it _only_ works 
through the serial port.

Then you might have a problem, becuase the only way I could get plan9
to pop up was through the on board b/w card.
