 1. Where is the equivalent of the "rc" files... i.e. where do I put
 stuff so that things like "listen" get run automatically when the machine
 boots.

/rc/bin/termrc for terminals
/rc/bin/cpurc for cpu servers

 2. I set up dns by running ndb/dns - this seemed to give me some 
 form of nameservice.  If I understand the manuals correctly, this starts
 up a domain name server on the machine.   Is there an equivalent to 
 the /etc/resolv.conf idea of just specifying a domain server without
 running a local name server?  BTW, the way the nameserver is running
 currently it only seems to resolve fully qualified names...I presume
 this is because it doesn't know what domain it is in... 
 cat /dev/hostdomain produces nothing... how do I tell it what domain it
 is in?  presumeably its in /lib/ndb/local. 

We only use fully qualified names.  Sorry.

We never did a separate resolver.
