Ok, this is fun, my card is a mach64 not an rage2 so it should work at least
that is what the bios says on boot up. Now, first off I am using lilo to
boot plan9, probably a bad idea. Anyway, once I boot plan9 I get to a
prompt that asks 'root is from: [local!stuff.../sd0/fs] I press enter and
then it asks for user:[none] I type glenda and the rio system boots(all
messed up of course), I manage to barely crawl to a command line prompt in
one
of the windows and find the /n/9fat directory but nothing is there. I
assume that plan9.ini is supposed to be loaded and this is why my windowing
system is screwed up. So I guess the question is how do mount '9fat:' at
boot. Once again I dont know what ini file the system is booting off of?
