Alright, I'll see if I can scrounge one of those.

There are actually two machines doing this, neither of them plan9 (the
"other computer" that compiled the binaries was actually running in
qemu). My router serves the bootp request, and another linux machine
does tftp. I've looked at packet dumps of the bootp/tftp traffic, and
I'm pretty sure it's all working as it should.

Well, I can boot the debian install image just fine, including bringing
up the network interface and pulling down things via HTTP. I am getting
a bunch of machine checks for ECC errors that I hadn't noticed before.
I'll put in a hard drive and see if I can get a working system out of
it.
