Thanks, after a reboot it works now as expected. It's cool. I also can
boot a diskless terminal from the server now.  There is only one
problem I try to solve. If I boot the terminal, boot ask for a user. I
give one and the terminal come up but I can't write anything. So I run
auth/factotum and then ' cpu -h crn'. Now factotum ask for user and
password and after login I can write files. As I remember correct this
should occur at boottime. It should look like this:

user[none]: mt
version...
!Adding key: dom=mteege proto=p9sk1
user[mt]: 
password: pass
time...

but in my case (on terminal) it looks like this:

user[none]: mt<ENTER>
version...
time...

I read the archives up and down but don't get it. I also check the
auth server setup with ndb/query and ndb/csquery as described in
http://groups.google.de/groups?selm=1b29e9d763c9f0837eba51e2adcbcd1f%40plan9.bell-labs.com.

Must I setup something special to get factotum running at login?
