ok. thanks for the help but that still doesnt make sense in what is
happening to our system.  When we compile the kernel we are using the
9pccpudisk kernel intended for the cpu server.  What exactly happens is
that we make it through all the steps of the setup but the nvram creation
causes some grief.  When using disk/prep, no plan 9 partition table is
returned, nonetheless after that problem we right echo blahblahblah to the
nvram and it still wont boot up and notify the difference in the
checksum.
If anyone has a detailed description of installing a cpu/auth server or
any plan9 installation (opposed to the regular ambigious
instructions that are provided throughout the web).
Thanks in advance
