My fault, it's an undocumented feature of ipconfig.  You can add auth and
fs to your botargs line:

bootargs=il ether /net/ether0 a.b.c.d <ip mask> 0 <fs-addr> <auth-addr>

The 0 would be the address of the remote side if this were a point-to-point
link.

I got it! On boot prompt "root is from:" I can place the same options
as to ipconfig. So I wrote to plan9.ini:

bootargs=il ether /net/ether0 a.b.c.d

That's OK.
But then loader asks for addresses of fs & auth servers.
Does anybody know how to set this to default values,
so it can boot without interaction with user on keyboard?
