   I have a problem trying to insert my Genoa Phantom 64 video card
   int the vgadb file : the file doesn't change its content and is
   the same after every boot of the plan9 OS . Why ?
 
If you edit /lib/vgadb while the Plan 9 system is 
booted, the changes do not stick, because 
the master copy of vgadb is the one on the
FAT file system on the floppy disk.  Edit it
under another operating system (or type
	a:
	ed /n/a:/vgadb
under Plan 9) and the changes should stick.
