You'll really want to be running 9.2 on the Macs.  For SLP to work, slpd
will have to start before afpd, and you'll have to have netatalk built
with SLP support.  However, with 8.6, this won't buy you anything.  With
8.6, you must be running atalkd, and have AppleTalk properly configured
in your kernel for the BSD server to show up in the Chooser.
