Thankyou.
But when running rio on the CPU server, it is of course runs
as bootes. Therefore a proper account for bootes needs to be created
and so on. This seems a bit wierd to me and it didn't seem to work
anyway when I tried it (was lib/profile executed? or just aborted after
some earlier error...?).
What is the best thing to do?

I did that anyway.
But lib/profile is still not read because
according to init.c, if running as a cpu then it should
execute /bin/rc with no arguments (ie no -l or -c to
make it read bootes' profile).
Secondly, when I run lib/profile manually, I get
3 bind errors:
bind: /mnt/term/dev/cons: file does not exist
bind: /mnt/term/dev/consctl: file does not exist
bind: /mnt/term/dev: file does not exist

It should work.
When you create a new user, though,
you need to run /sys/lib/newuser (as the
new user!) at first boot, to initialize things
like your profile.

I followed the instructions for creating an auth/cpu server
but can not get rio to run on the cpu server.
I've added calls to aux/mouse and aux/vga in cpurc, but
aux/vga dies with the error
aux/vga: vgactlw: <hwgc rgb524hwgc>: bad arg in system call
The vgadb line for the card is "Stealth 64 Video VRAM 3.00".
The vga works with no problems when running as a terminal, it is
only when running as a CPU server that things don't work.
What's going on?
Also, what is the status of the kfs patch that will allow the same machine to
be used as a cpu/auth/fileserver?
