     NAME
	  sdaoe	- ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE) storage device interface

     SYNOPSIS
	  bind -a #S /dev
	  echo config switch on	spec l type aoe//dev/aoe/shelf.slot >/dev/sdctl
	  echo config switch off spec l	>/dev/sdctl
	  /dev/sdl0/ctl
	  /dev/sdl0/raw
	  /dev/sdl0/data
	  ...
	  addaoe letter	unit

     DESCRIPTION
	  Sdaoe	has a few quirks because network-attached storage
	  can't	be enumerated as directly-attached storage can.	 The
	  default first	controller letter for AoE devices is `e'.
	  Each sdaoe device must be configured explicitly.

	  Addaoe packages up the `switch on' invocation	as an rc
	  script.

	  To boot from an AoE root, the	sd device must be configured
	  on boot by either PXE	booting	or booting from	directly-
	  attached storage and adding two configuration	lines to
	  plan9.ini(8) for aoeif, listing the names of the Ethernet
	  interface(s) to use, and aoedev=letter!#æ/aoe/lun.

     EXAMPLES
	  To configure target (LUN) 42.0 on #S/sde0,

	       echo config switch on spec e type aoe//dev/aoe/42.0 >/dev/sdctl

	  To turn this device off,

	       echo config switch off spec e >/dev/sdctl

	  To boot using	target 42.0 as #S/sde0 and as root, over Eth-
	  ernet	interfaces 0 and 1,

	       aoeif=ether0 ether1
	       aoedev=e!42.0

     BUGS
	  It is	not currently possible to boot from an AoE target
	  without an external bootstrap	like PXE.
