That worked.  Thanks.  While I was waiting for an answer, I decided to
test the machine a bit more by booting from a floppy linux and a
cdrom-based linux, in order to see if my ethernet card was really
working; I ended up having weird kernel paging errors, and replaced
the ram, and then plan9 came up and found the network just fine.

I left it on waiting all night; however, like I said, it appears to
have been bad memory.

It seems to be working now, however.
