If I just choose none, if I type in ed to try and edit
anything, I just get a line that says ?TMP, and another % prompt.
/tmp is unwritable; you're expected to mount a writable directory
there. The easiest way to do this is to type
ramfs
before running ed.

Well, I made it through installing Plan 9 by editing /lib/vgadb in MS
Windows. The install completed, and now I need to make the same change to
the installed system's /lib/vgadb. At user[none], if I enter glenda, the
system can't start the gui, and when I ls, I get an incomplete file
structure listed. If I just choose none, if I type in ed to try and edit
anything, I just get a line that says ?TMP, and another % prompt.
Any ideas on what I might have missed?
