I have been trying to install plan9, however I get told
aux/vga controller not in /lib/vgadb
I also tried using 600x480 to no avail.
It reports the card as
ATI MACH64, PCI BIOS P/N 113-25517-100
(C) 1988-94, ATI Technologies Inc
.BK3.4/0.030MACH64GXPCIUN
which is ok. I think I am meant to now edit the vgadb file
do I do this to the image before I put it on the floppy or  at
the % prompt.

Thanks for your assistance.

Edit the VGADB file on the floppy; you can use a DOS or Windows text
editor to do this.  Once Plan 9 is installed, edit /lib/vgadb (which
is not a copy of the file from the floppy).
