Does anyone have a copy online of a working plan9.ini for pxe booting a
diskless cpu server from a fossil? I've been going through the manpages
and wiki but things just aren't clear to me exactly what needs to be done
wrt configuring the nvram settings. Things have changed since 2ed ...

this is i use for ken fs, for fossil you will need to s/il/tcp/g.
bootfile=ether0!tyty!/386/9pccpu.gz
bootargs=il
nobootprompt=il
but the real secret sauce is in /lib/ndb/local. the easiest
way to do things is with an ipnet entry something like
ipnet=example.com
ip=10.0.0.0 ipmask=/96
fs=myfs.example.com
gw=gw.example.com
auth=auth.example.com
dns=10.0.0.2
dnsdomain=example.com
ipgw=10.0.0.1
it's important that ndb/ipquery returns reasonable answers
for fs and auth for your cpu server.
