I can not bring up rio when booting from my newly created boot (not install)
floppy:

rio: can't open display:initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: no frame buffer

I know you have seen these problems before.  Unless I missed something, I need
suggestions beyond what are in the install notes.

I installed plan9 on a Micron that I hope will become my cpu/auth server.  I
added a line in vgadb to get my Micron 700FGx 17" monitor (no graphics card) to
work:

        0xC0047="Stealth 3D 2000 Pro Vers. 1.01"

before the version 3.04.  The install went well with the screen at a nice
resolution.  My plan9.ini had the following:

monitor=multisync75
vgasize=1024x768x8

As Russ said face the VGA problems early.

I made a boot floppy and copied over my added vgadb to /lib/vgadb, and I am not
using a special version of aux/vga.  I even did a grep to make sure the new
entry was in /lib/vgadb.  I still get the same error when booting up rio.  Does
anyone have ideas of what else to check.  I can go back to the install and still
get rio.
