 .SS Terminals
 To bootstrap a diskless terminal or a CPU server, a file server must be running.
-PCs can boot from a floppy disk or any FAT16 partition.
-On all the terminals, typing two control-T's followed by a lower-case

-other methods of rebooting are mentioned for some machines.
 .SS PCs
-To boot a PC, it is necessary to get
-.B /386/9load
-or
-.B /386/9pxeload
-loaded into memory.
-There are many ways to do this.  A Plan 9 boot floppy prepared by
-.B format
-(see
-.IR prep (8))
-will load
-.B 9load
-when the PC is reset or powered on.
-Other methods are described in 
-.IR 9load (8).
-.B 9load
-then locates and loads a Plan 9 kernel, using configuration information
-from the file
-.B plan9.ini
-stored in the
-.B 9fat

 Once the kernel is booted, it behaves like the others.

 .IR boot (8)
 for details.

-Alpha PCs must be booted via TFTP using the SRM console.
-If the system has ARC firmware instead, SRM may be downloaded from
-.IP

-You must configure the SRM firmware to load the file
-.BR /alpha/bootalphapc .
-The following commands may be used (replace
-.B ewa0

-set boot_reset ON

-This secondary bootstrap program will first load the file
-.BR /alpha/conf/ <IP-address>
-(substituting the IP address of the system as obtained via bootp).
-This file is expected to be in
-.IR plan9.ini (8)
-format (the file
-.B /alpha/conf/10.0.0.2
-may be used as a template).
-It then loads the kernel via tftp, using the value of
-.B bootfile
-to tell it which file to load; this should be
-.B /alpha/9apc
-for terminals.
 .SS CPU Servers
 The Plan 9 CPU servers are multi-user, so they do not request a user name
 when booting.
-On the CPU servers, typing a control-P on the console reboots the machine.
 .SS PC CPU Server
-Proceed as for the PC terminal, but load
-.B /386/9pccpu

-Proceed as for the Alpha PC terminal, but use
-.B /alpha/9apccpu
