Yes. I think it all follows from the distribution documents.
/lib/vgadb will need modifying to support the S3, and, yes, the SCSI
controller is not supported.

There's no support for any Future Domain SCSI controller.
If you know the model of STB VGA card and can determine the
graphics chip
RAMDAC
clock chip
then it's possible to create a new entry in /lib/vgadb for
your card.

I've just installed a demo version of Plan 9 on a Gateway 2000 computer
(p5-120) using a STB graphics board. Plan 9 is running but the STB
graphics board (S3 compatible) is only supported in the standard VGA
mode. Also the Future Domain SCSI-2 controller cannot be recognized using
Plan 9.
