Then drawterming in will show you the file server (and you won't have to maintain the local disk on the cpu server!). See plan9.ini(8) and boot(8) for the options. You want to boot from IL, and since you won't have anyone to set up your IP configuration you'll have to put that in too. (Something like bootargs=il!-g 192.168.5.1 ether /net/ether0 192.168.5.123 255.255.255.0 fs=192.168.5.234 if I remember correctly. The auth id for the file server needs to be the same as the auth id you're using on the cpu server in order for the bootstrap to work without having an auth server already. Russ
