[9fans] errors compiling an auth kernel

[Rob Ristroph <rgr@sdf.lonestar.org>]

I am trying to compile a pcauth kernel.  I have been getting errors
that I think are related to the bootdir section.  I read another post
by someone who seemed to be having the same problem, but the
suggestions in that thread didn't help:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=Pine.SOL.4.31.0302190126370.15480-100000%40fury.csh.rit.edu&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26q%3Dbootpcauth.c%26sa%3DN%26tab%3Dwg

I tried the bootdir sections that people listed in that thread, and
combinations of them.

Using Russ Cox's suggestion of:

bootdir
 bootpcauth.out boot
 /386/bin/ip/ipconfig
 factotum.hack factotum
 /386/bin/disk/kfs

I get the following messages:

mk: ../boot/mkboot pcauth > ... : exit status=rc 570: 8c 582: error

I looked at the mkboot script and I didn't understand what it was
supposed to do.  I also looked at the bootdir section of the wiki.

My end goal is to make a standalone machine that can act as an
authserver in addition to being a standalone cpu server (i.e., the
computer I actually type commands at, and run my processes on).  I am
trying to follow the steps in the "Configuring a Standalone CPU
Server" section of the wiki.

Any suggestions of what I should try next would be greatly
appreciated.
