Whatever it is, it's very bizarre.

The aux/vga in termrc isn't running.  The one I added to =
$home/lib/profile is.  (And why isn't 'flag +x' added to /rc/bin/termrc =
barfing out the expected trace data? The 'echo kill -roy' immediately =
below it fires off.)

A second look at the pci output shows that nothing behind the USB =
bridges is being detected.  This explains the absence of a mouse.  But =
changing the plan9.ini mouse setting from intellimouse to ps2 solves =
