What I'm trying to do is install a new cpu server, and once it is up
and running make it into the bootp/auth server.  I am having a hard time
and I'm wondering if one of the problems is the fact that I don't have
a prep'ed disk, and therefore have no nvram location to read/write.

I've got a boot floppy with a bb bootsectore, and the files b.com,
9pccpudisk, and a plan9.ini. The floppy boots up just fine, and asks me
for the network config (just like my normal auth server) and then it asks
for the nvram info:

	password: <my fs password>
	authid: root (I use 'root' instead of bootes on my current cpu/auth server)
	authdom: stanford.edu (???? I *think* this is what I used before)
	
It seems to take this, it obviously mounts the fs because it executes
the /bin/cpurc and prints out some messages in it, but then it spews
forth various errors:

    aux/listen: no free mount rpc buffer
    bind: no free mount rpc buffer
    aux/icmp: no free mount rpc buffer
    bind: no free mount rpc buffer
    bind: no free mount rpc buffer
    rc: file /rc/bin/cpurc: line 65: token EOF: syntax error
    rc: file /rc/lib/rcmain: line 30: token EOF: syntax error
    init: rc exit status: rc 7:cpurc 47:can't exec
    
    criswell password: <my fs password>
    criswell% <type-any-command-and-it-never-returns>
    
my fs was in allow mode during this operation, my normal auth server
was offline. My normal cpu/auth server boots up without any of these
errors. I've checked cpurc and rcmain, and they look fine to me in
terms of rc code -- nothing link a missing '}'.
