Dual Pentium III/750 Mhz pc, Intel Etherexpress NIC and S3-chip
based video card.

It is a stand alone cpu/auth server. It was booting from hard disk
and functioning correctly. After a power outage, it won't boot from
hard disk, so, I tried to boot using a bootfloppy with correct
entry for bootdisk and file info
	bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pccpud
	bootdisk=local!#S/sdC0/fs
	debug=1
	*nomp=1
	...
in plan9.ini, boots ok and works.

If I comment out the nomp line, the machine boots but end displays
the message shown below and does not start rio.
..
ip/ipconfig: binding device: file does not exist
ndb/dns: can't read my ip address
rc: null list in concatenation
..
%

Any pointers?
