if booting with root from the network the kernel
will run it using /ipconfig in order to dial the file
server.  it doesn't need to be in termrc.  if you
want a termrc that works in both places you can
do

if(! test -e /net/ipifc/0/ctl) ip/ipconfig

9load doesn't currently pass the IP address it got to the kernel
Therefore, the booted kernel runs dhcp when it comes up (and can
get more info than bootp does).

Just to clarify this for me, is there any reason
ipconfig needs to be in termrc for bootp'd terminals?

I think our termrc has been around since 3rd ed
which had ipconfig by default (iirc).  If it's
redundant I'd like to pull it.
