Yes, bootes is the hostowner of the CPU/Auth server. I've got a QEMU image that was distributed by Devon, so I could at least try to get into Plan 9 inside QEMU and try to connect to Ken FS server from there. I'm still PXE booting, this time with a 9pcfil kernel that supports IL protocol and booting locally. It currently is just hung at time... fossil(#S/sdC0/fossil)... If I start QEMU with the option to boot directly from the HD image, as opposed to booting from network, then it starts up fine - but then the kernel is different also. I don't know what part of this is really troublesome. Maybe the pcap device? I can't get into VNC if I start QEMU with -boot d and -net pcap,devicename=ath0 so -boot n remains my only options; but with this option we have the hung fossil... or something.... So many problems (due to so many limitations). Cheers, ak
