>>That's awful neat, although it smacks of taking most of the functionality
>>out of the loader and placing it in plan9.ini - nothing wrong with that

nearly all of that was in the original source.  it's mainly useful on networks
such as most of mine where a plan 9 cpu server provides dhcp for the network
but must configure its network interface somehow, and PCs haven't
got a standard way of putting parameters in NVRAM (when they've got NVRAM).
the arguments are passed to /sys/src/9/boot and the loader doesn't
do much more than preserve them for /boot.
i added two lines to bootip.c to set the file server address.
