In response to the questions I posted I've gotten answers via private
email.  Thanks to Jim and Dave for their help!

I was going to post a summary once things were stablized a bit, but
here's a quick rundown:

My ss2 didn't like the new scsi driver.  Replacing src/fs/ss/scsi.c
with the code from the first edition fixed the disk problems I was
seeing.

Also, the ss fs gets the clock wrong.  In toy.c, I fixed it by
incrementing rtc.year by 68 after reading the clock.  After doing that,
I noticed that the terminal version of the kernel fixes this problem
slightly differently, but I haven't tried making that change to the
fileserver yet.

On a (sparc, at least) auth server, boot dies if you tell it that its
ip address is 0.0.0.0; use the real ip number instead.
