Its good top remember the learning curve, ir does feel steep,
and then suddenly...
How far have you got installing your plan9 file/cpu/auth server?
I assume you have booted a terminal successfully?
here are some rough steps:
install a terminal
edit /lib/ndb/local to set up networking
partitioned the hard disk, adding an nvram partition.
modify your plan9.ini - I suggest you add a boot menu to allow you
to boot as a terminal or as server (different kernels).
create /cfg/$sysname/cpurc, I have put mine from my server
in http://www.quintile.net/doorstep/cpurc, I don't suggest you use this without
working out what it all does but it should provide a useful template.
create accounts in fossil for yourself and bootes.
write the nvram partition using auth/wrkry - hostowner is, by convention,
"bootes" the authdom is a name for your authentication domain, mine is
home.quintile.net but your could be anything you like.
edit /lib/ndb/auth to allow processes running as bootes to become other people.
set passwords for bootes (same as you used in wrkey) and for yourself
using auth/changeuser
you will want to set up secstore but that is optional so leave it till later.
there are some nice options to allow the boot sequence (defined in plan9.ini)
to run unattended but these can wait.
you might want to use mirrored drives for reliability, see fs(4).
hope this helps.
