Hi 9fans,

With Richard Miller's help, I was able to setup PXE booting for RPi 3 from
Plan 9.  RPi 3 can pxe-boot without an SD card and RPi 2 only needs a
single file (bootcode.bin) on an SD card. Here are the instructions:

Although the setup describes pxe loading Plan 9, it will work for other
OSes.

I had to change /sys/src/cmd/ip/dhcpd/dhcpd.c to reply with the right
vendor info. It's a very specific hack; hopefully a more general way of
supplying vendor info can be added.

A big thank you to Richard for all his help and for reviewing the
instructions.
