I have two disks, one an install disk, the other a boot disk. The boot disk has nothing on it except PLAN9INI.BAK and some other big binary file. Maybe I need to put plan9.ini in the boot disk? My install disk has plan9.ini and vgadb and vgainfo.txt. I havent looked at my vgadb file on my hard drive, one I dont know how. And the plan9.ini file on hard drive, I can seem to find. Actually I do 'cat' in console mode but is there a 'less' or 'more'.
