Rc has no idea what size font it is using.
Your font is set in /usr/you/lib/profile.
To use ftp, run ftpfs.
To use nfs, there used to be a program called
cnfs in the second edition, and I tried to port it
but it didn't quite work for me.  Perhaps the
original authors will update it.

If the freezing systems have 5.25" floppy disks,
try disabling them.  If you've specified an ether
card, try commenting it out in plan9.ini.

As for the 486 it sounds like more floppy problems
(something is amiss in the floppy driver, but no
one is sure what).  I don't understand why having
an old floppy drive under Linux would mean you 
can't mount disks of type vfat or ext2.  I don't
know what tricks ext2 pulls, but vfat should be 
using the same bits as fat does, i.e. the standard
1.44MB of data.
