Hello,
I have a small site with one File server and one CPU/Auth server.
How can I boot the CPU server from the file server ?
do I have to use another machine that will be a DHCP server ?
In that case, how do I boot the DHCP server from the file server ?
David.

Using plan9.ini to configure the IP address is a good idea, but
how do you do that ? the man page of plan9.ini does not mention
anything about configuring the IP of the machine ...

It might not be the best way, but I have
the same setup. What I do is to use the plan9.ini in the
CPU/auth server to set the ipaddress etc, so it can
boot from the file server and become the dhcp server.
Drop me a line if you want to get any detail about my particular
setup...
The file server does not run user processes, and therefore I
think it cannot be your dhcp server.
Another way would be to setup a different machine as a
dhcp server.

The CPU server will have to get it's kernel locally and if
there's no DHCP server, you need to tack the ip addresses
onto the bootargs line:
bootargs=il <ip addr> <ip mask> <net addr> <fs addr> <auth addr>
You'll also have to make the key/authid for the file sever and
the cpu server the same. If a cpu server can't find an auth server
to answer, it just guesses that the key/authid for the fs are the
same as its own and handcrafts a ticket to use. That's the
chicken and egg problem.
Of course, if somewhere else you have a dhcp server, you can get
the kernel off the net too.

i load the cpu/auth server kernel from diskette.
there isn't a straightforward way of loading from the file server.
the boot programs don't know 9P (and thus can't attach as none,
nor is it necessarily a good idea to allow attach as none),
and the file server certainly doesn't know dhcp/bootp/tftpd.
