I am building a kernel (after a few months off) for my laptop. I was
building kernels on this machine "no problem" a few months back.

Now, when I boot the kernel, it looks for an nvram file, fails, then asks
me for a password. It's almost like it's trying to be a file server. I
have several bootfile entries in plan9.ini, so I have the old one (which
is one I built), but this is puzzling. (cpuserver is set to 0 in the
config file).

What could I have screwed up that would make this happen. Same
/sys/src/9/pc, same plan9.ini, same source tree, ... what could I have
done wrong? Or is there something outside the kernel build that could
make this happen?

thanks

ron
