Yes, the kernel loads, and prompts me for an IP for a filesystem.  I enter
one, and it goes through authid, authdom, secstore and password prompts,
then it dumps me off into kdumpland

"ktrace /kernel/path 0x60806f34 0x6095cf30 0x6095cf6d # pc, sp,
linkion refused"

It was pretty easy to get it this far.  I'm just wondering if I have my
filesystem server set up the way I originally thought, and if there is a way
to do some basic test of that.

Example, can I attach an Inferno OS to my Plan 9 to validate if other Plan 9
instances *should* work.
