you can set things up so that a cpu server running on a PC takes its IP address
and other network parameters from the plan9.ini file, which is useful when the
cpu server itself is the dhcp server for the network.  you don't need another
system to act as dhcp server.

My fault, it's an undocumented feature of ipconfig.  You can add auth and
fs to your botargs line:

bootargs=il ether /net/ether0 a.b.c.d <ip mask> 0 <fs-addr> <auth-addr>

The 0 would be the address of the remote side if this were a point-to-point
link.

I got it! On boot prompt "root is from:" I can place the same options
as to ipconfig. So I wrote to plan9.ini:

bootargs=il ether /net/ether0 a.b.c.d

That's OK.
But then loader asks for addresses of fs & auth servers.
Does anybody know how to set this to default values,
so it can boot without interaction with user on keyboard?
