I'm sorry, but the easiest thing to do is download the new version.
If you are feeling particularly adventurous you could build
yourself a new kernel instead:

	cd /sys/src/9/pc
	ed pcdisk
	/vgavmware
	a
		vgamga4xx	+cur
	.
	w
	q
	mk 'CONF=pcdisk'
	9fat:
	cp 9pcdisk /n/9fat/9pcdisk
	disk/kfscmd halt
	<reboot>

Also you want to log in as "glenda" not "root".  Glenda has a home
directory already set up to give you a small tour of Plan 9.

The new install floppy posted last night should fix this.
Unless I messed up again.  ;-)

No it is working. Perfect. Thanks.
But on more question.
Installation worked fine, but
after the installation, booting with the bootdisk, i got these error
messages:

init: starting /bin/rc
aux/vga: mga4xx: cant set mga type
dossrv: serving #s/dos
Cant cd /usr/root: '/usr/root' does not exist
lib/profile: rc: .:cant open: 'bin/lib' directory entry not found
init: rc exit status: rc 12: cant open

So, my Matrox G400 is not supported with my installation i did ?
The Version of Plan9 i use was dowloaded one week ago.
But i cant donwload a newer version, because of my slow connection.
So, how can i run rio, with my Matrox ?
Thanks.

It is supported, we messed up and forgot to include
it in the install disk.  We're working to correct that.

Ah, well, ok. This could happen.
So, you will post a message when it is ready to download the new
bootdisk with matrox g400 support ?

Hi.

So, i just downloaded the new version of plan9 and the bootdisk.
The problem i have, is, that the booting process always ends in the
prompt (% ). And i got always a error message like that:
mga4xx: can't set mga type

So, what is the problem ? I thought the Matrox G400 is supported....
Can someone help, i appreciate that.
