[9fans] int cpuserver = HELP!

[9fans] int cpuserver = HELP!

[Robert Sherwood]

Hi, all.

I have gotten plan9 installed. Thanks for the tip about moving the
cdrom drive to primary slave. That worked like a charm.

I am trying to set up the machine I installed as a CPU server, and I'm
having trouble getting the box to execute /rc/bin/cpurc.

As I understand it, the only thing required to cause init to launch
/rc/bin/cpurc is to compile and install a kernel with the following
lines in the mk file:

port
	int cpuserver = 1;

Of course, I'm sure there's more work to do to get a working CPU
server, but I can't seem to force init to launch "cpurc". Is there any
way to query my freshly compiled "9pccpu" kernel to verify that it's a
cpu kernel. I'm at my wits' end. It just keeps launching
/rc/bin/termrc.

Thanks,

Rob
