Ok, I realize what I've been doing wrong.  I don't have a boot program in the
/tftpboot directory; I have a kernel.  However, this doesn't explain to me
why the SLC, 1, and 1+ I've tried to boot didn't at least succeed in tftp'ing
the file.  Furthermore, the IPC, which _did_ succeed, jumped into the plan 9
fileserver kernel and started executing it!  (And everything went as expected.)

Also, the problem seems (to me at least) to be on the tftpd end; tcpdump shows
that the machines are requesting files that are available in the /tftpboot
directory.

Thanks again!!  You guys are the greatest, and I hope to start contributing
soon, too...just as soon as I get some knowledge to contribute =).
