Re: [9fans] Install and Posting Issues

Hi,

This is not related to troff, but it seems I am unable to post to this
list directly, so I'll try this alternative way. (if anybody has info
on why straight posting doesn't work, please let me know because I
just do not understand why I can't...specially with all the spam that
goes on)

Anyway,
I mailed this before and I hope this time it'll be posted and I'll get
some help. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I am encountering problems with my newly installed plan9. There is
couple of messages that troubles me and mainly the vga is not working.
I put the messages I get below.

I scanned the archive, and saw Russ answer about adding a line in
vgadb in the bootfloppy...This file is not there on my boot floppy
(nor in the file system using du -a | grep vgadb).

Any help would be greatly appreciated since I went through some
trouble already (linux lilo/mbr....) and I want to have this install
completed.

Thanks.

PS: I am confused about why the install rio window is working but not
the normal one using aux/vga after install. If it's working during the
install, shouldn't it work after? Doesn't it mean that my video card
is supported ?
