Hey,

Kudo to the folks at bell-labs, for opening up on this one!

Okay, for years I wanted to play around on this system, but when I try to
install it on a fairly generic machine with a Matrox G200, or a S3
Trio64V+ (A generic one, not Diamond), they both hang after 'dossrv:
serving #s/dos', after fiddling with vgadb (just kludging in the
values/offsets that vgainfo gives). Without doing this, rio won't even
start, and just spits out what ends up in vgainfo.txt.

Seems that VGA is my only hurdle here. Hope the driver support gets
better. I'm still very anctious about trying this out.

Oh, and another thing. It would be really nice if this puppy could run in
VMWare. Check http://www.vmware.com/ for more information. This way,
people without the right hardware can still develop software for plan9 in
a virtual machine.

Cheers,
CoolVibe
