Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.1 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2001 12:53:06 -0400 (EDT) I was running a standalone cpu/auth server with rio too on console. To try a new monitor I changed the line from uax/vga -l 1024x768x8 to 1280x1024x8 in /rc/bin/cpurc just before exec command for rio.. The system does boot but console is blank (monitor does not know how to display). I triwd to get into the system using drqwterm from a FreeBSD machine and user bootes but it won't let me change the file cpurc :-( Any ideas on fixing the problem???? - ishwar --upas-tmorqeouvcjqjwpbknezzzjrst--
