  What I couldn't do was set a password.  Passwd returns "protocol
  botch: cs: can't translate address(net!$auth!ticket)."  I assume
  this is because it is a stand alone system.  The system has a
  NIC that I hope to use for printing &c on my LAN.  Any workaround or
  suggestions?

If you don't want to connect to the system
remotely, don't worry about it -- booting
standalone the password is never used.

If you do want to connect to it remotely,
you'll want to set up a standalone cpu/auth
server.  plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/start.pdf
has some info on that near the end.
