I don't... I still don't have it clear in my mind how I would get a machine
to boot as a diskless cpu server just through PXE. I was just trying to see
if the PXE would even jump to 9load successfully.
I need to experiment a bit more with this -- currently I'm staring at a
blank screen with just the DHCP information on (if I attempt to load a
9pcauth kernel directly the machine reboots, which is just what I
expected). I need to read more about PXE to find out whether it expects 9load
to be linked at a specific address or not. I also see that it attempts to pass
options to tftpd, which the red-hat daemon does not expect (dhcp server is
linux, just can't a dedicated plan9 machine)...
Too bad there are no postcards around here :(...
