Ok, I found out that mouseport was empty. As the mouse (USB) worked in
rio after I ran aux/vga manually, I would never have thought that it
would be the reason why aux/vga didn't run. I added "mouseport=ps2" to
the plan9.ini style file in /cfg/pxe and now aux/vga configures the
video card and rio starts fine.


Kind regards,
