[9fans] First run problem

[RockMover]

Hello, All!

  I've installed plan9 successfull, but now, when I boot,
it complains:
rio: can't open display: initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: no frame buffer
and just goes to rc prompt %, in text mode.

  I am new to all this, do not know what frame buffer is all about,
did not find a solution in faq and docs. 
Can you help me?

(During install from floppy, graphics was OK, and /lib/vgadb 
and /env/monitor is the same as on floppy, monitor multisync75,
videocard S3 with a code 
0xC0044="S3 86C325 Video BIOS. Version 1.00-05").

  Also, when I'm trying aux/vga -l, with any mode,
it spoils the screen and seems hangs. But I
think vgadb entries are valid, as they worked during installation.
What can I do?

You need to edit vgadb again.
The one installed on a new system
is from the downloaded archive not
the edited one on the floppy disk.

Just add that line in the same place
you did before.  You'll have to use ed.

Alternately, you can copy the old one
off your install disk.
	a:
	disk/kfscmd allow
	cp /n/a:/vgadb /lib/vgadb
	disk/kfscmd disallow
