The easiest will be to send the vgadb info for your particular card to
9trouble (you can get the email address off the Plan 9 download page).
Once they've put it in /lib/vgadb the cd image will be regenerated
with the new data and you'll be able to download and use it the next
day.

As for an easy way to boot Plan 9 without disks and floppies, I
personally prefer booting a terminal off a main Plan 9 server, but if
you lack the hardware for a full-blown installation just download
VMWare and use that...

cheers, andrey
