you can set things up so that a cpu server running on a PC takes its IP address
and other network parameters from the plan9.ini file, which is useful when the
cpu server itself is the dhcp server for the network.  you don't need another
system to act as dhcp server.

I got the first byte wrong in that last message, i left it decimal.  The string
should have been:

2b:0c:80:04:<4 bytes of fs addr>:81:04:<4 bytes of auth server addr>

That's the vendor-encapsulated-options (2b) containing 12 bytes.
The encapsluated options are plan9 file server 80 and plan9
auth server 81.

It could be that they no longer recognize 'vendor-encapsulated-options'.
You could just speciffy your own option of:

	43:0c:80:04:<4 bytes of fs addr>:81:04:<4 bytes of auth server addr>

This is just the byte string that the 'vendor-encapsulated-options' was
supposed to create.

//Do I need another machine with DHCP service?

yes. the file server does _only_ services 9p requests.
anything beyond that, like dhcp, tftp, authentication,
and you've got to be running a CPU server, or make
other accomidations.

Hello all,

I have installed files from distribution archive to my fileserver.
I made floppy with pccpu.gz for my auth/cpuserver.

Then with only fileserver running I try to boot
cpuserver from floppy (as diskless) with root from il.
But it complains:

il: no success with DHCP

Can you help me, please?
Do I need another machine with DHCP service?
