Ok when I installed plan9 with a permedia2 graphics card the boot disk didnt work. Of course it wouldnt work, the chipset is not supported. I went to my rage2 graphics card and low and behold it worked. I went through the install and everything went smoothly. The vga windowed mode worked for this rage2 card and the mouse worked great. I chose boot from floppy because why not. Ok, so once I booted, I booted from lilo(linux) and the rio system had stuff on there but it wasnt usable. The windows were messed up, the text was overlapping, yadda, yadda. Tried boot from disk, same thing. I got to text mode somehow, and the vgasize is 640x480x8 which is good. The monitor is set at multisync75 and thats about it. I figure it recognizes the card and chipset but doesnt do it when I boot. I am using glenda as a user. When I type no user I get to text mode.
