I don't believe you, but I'll try anyway.  But before I do, let me argue
that it's not the (il, local) prompt, it's the five or six prompts
for local IP address, mask, gateway, fileserver and auth server
addresses.  You (I remember) encouraged me to put them in the
plan9.ini file, to save me having to type them, but I do wish "b"
or the kernel would find them in a better place.

Will do.  It's precisely 64Meg, so that may be significant.  Much
appreciated, now which one shall I try first?  Hm, the other
possibility may be the floppy drive, I know some of them are
dicky, but I can never remember which, or how :-(
