i forgot to mention -- you can just copy the kernel from /386.  run
'9fat:' and see what's in /n/9fat (plan9.ini and a kernel are there)
and copy the same kernel from /386, it should have all updates.

as far as i can see on my system all kernels in /386 contain the
vmware graphics device so you ought to be safe :)

next time do 'replica/pull -vs', which will overwrite conflicting
files with the ones from sources and save you the trouble of having to
delete them by hand.  just make sure you don't overwrite important
configuration files like /rc/bin/{cpu,term}rc or /lib/ndb/local which
you may have modified for your system (until you've set up venti, or
fossil snapshots at the very least:)
