[9fans] azerty vaio install

[boyd, rounin]

nice to see the default has the kbmap stuff included.

a few small hacks to /rc/bin/termrc.local and i can type azerty.

i have to look at the network card support as ether0=ECT2 isn't sufficient.
perhaps it's a case problem.  not even damn windoze can make up its
mind where the pci/pcmcia card 'lives'; at one point it was at 0xE000,
irq 9.

makes a lotta difference when you can type at it at a reasonable speed (without
mental interpolation).

i've found a bug in the azerty map, but it's no biggy.


btw: i installed using kfs.  me being old school.

i'm surprised you hadn't done a port to the vax!

that's what i had.  i shall have to rattle its cage a bit more.

the vaio's have (essentially) f/s image cd's which do quick
[~10 minute] installs, but they _don't_ always work.  i
had to pull some old [2001] openbsd install floppy to
smash the mbr into some state where the install would
proceed further.  after a couple of install over install
loops i had '98 on it and then could install plan 9.
