Subject: Re: [9fans] Booting the Auth server from the file server

i load the cpu/auth server kernel from diskette.
there isn't a straightforward way of loading from the file server.
the boot programs don't know 9P (and thus can't attach as none,
nor is it necessarily a good idea to allow attach as none),
and the file server certainly doesn't know dhcp/bootp/tftpd.
