no, it will simply prompt for the information it needs.
(you can put some of it in the plan9.ini file on the boot diskette, though i don't think
the details are documented.)
most of my cpu servers are diskless, with just a boot diskette.

>>   aux/listen: no free mount rpc buffer
>>    bind: no free mount rpc buffer

the kernel has run out of memory and thus buffer space.
the EOFs probably result from that, too.
i'd check the allocation sizes printed at startup.
you can see the current state of allocation by typing
	control-t control-t x
on the console.
since the system has only just started, it seems likely
that it is confused about how much memory it has got
(or reserved for the kernel).
