[9fans] "Standalone CPU Server" wiki page vs. my reality

[Tom Lieber]

The "Standalone CPU Server" wiki page doesn't seem to make valid
assumptions about which lines are in /cfg/example/cpurc or which files
are in the filesystem. Is that page out of date, or is my Plan 9
out-of-date? (I've recently pull'd).

For example:

These lines weren't in the example file (I had to add, not uncomment them):

# auth/keyfs -wp -m /mnt/keys /adm/keys >/dev/null >[2=1]
# auth/cron >>/sys/log/cron >[2=1] &

These files to be moved don't exist:

mv /rc/bin/service/il566 /rc/bin/service/!il566
mv /rc/bin/service/tcp567 /rc/bin/service/!tcp567

Also, there was no /386/9pccpuf kernel; I compiled my own, but had the
same issue as Antonin that it was too big, so I cut out all the video
drivers and all the network drivers but one. Now it boots, but I get
the following message every few seconds:

giving up on il!*!566: announce opening /net/il/clone: '/net/il' dns:
file does not exist

I'm using Qemu with the PCNet NIC. I left the following in the "link"
section of my pccpuf file:

realmode
devpccard
devi82365
ether79c970 pci # seems to be the PCNet driver
ethersink
ethersmc
etherwavelan
ethermedium
netdevmedium
loopbackmedium

delete this line from your cpurc

	> mv /rc/bin/service/il566 /rc/bin/service/!il566

unfortunately, il has been removed from the labs' kernels.
