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

It says 'can't open nvram' or something like that. I don't have it here at
the moment and I forget the exact wording.
Andrey has made me some recommendations for things to try. The disk I'm
using seems to be a bit frazzled so I may just upgrade first and start
over -- this is a pretty old distribution on this machine.

In general, it should be asking you for a password file
regardless even if you're running a 9pc or 9pcdisk. It just
doesn't care what the answer is if you aren't connecting
to any external resources. How do you know its looking for
an nvram file/partition?

sounds like you built a cpu server kernel. they build
from the same source tree. try 'mk CONF=pcdisk' for
a terminal kernel with disk drivers.
