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).
