I got it! On boot prompt "root is from:" I can place the same options
as to ipconfig. So I wrote to plan9.ini:

bootargs=il ether /net/ether0 a.b.c.d

That's OK.
But then loader asks for addresses of fs & auth servers.
Does anybody know how to set this to default values,
so it can boot without interaction with user on keyboard?
