That's a good point.  Currently, if you
edit vgadb to get yourself booted,
you'll have to copy it over from the
floppy yourself once you're installed.

After booting the installation and
rio fails, put the floppy back and type
	a:
	disk/kfscmd allow
	cp /n/a:/vgadb /lib/vgadb
	disk/kfscmd disallow
	disk/kfscmd halt
and then reboot the system.

Rebooting isn't strictly necessary
(you run run the rest of /rc/bin/termrc
by hand) but it's the surest way to test that
it will work the next time.

We'll try to have the install program do
that automatically sometime soon.
