Hi,
is there a way to urge plan9 terminal to boot without asking about
bootargs and user name?

there's a 'nobootprompt=' plan9.ini(8) variable you can use.
as for the username the only way i can think of is a hack -- boot a
pccpu kernel which will remember the user information and store it in
nvram. to avoid other people logging in to your terminal (which is
actualy a cpu server) don't start the listen daemon from cpurc...
essentially other users won't be able to login to such cpu server
unless you explicitly add the user that booted it to /lib/ndb/auth so
it can 'become' somebody else.
not that i'm condoning such terminal setup, of course, and not that i
haven't done exactly the same thing it in the past :)

Well, you have the user= variable, but of course you'd have to
type a password as soon as you want to user resources (unless you
do what mirtchov suggests and start a cpuserver instead).

I have in fact set up a cpu server. That's what I wanted.
