	I think you may pick enough expressive identifying string from the
	video bios dump you may be getting. Remember its starting address
	(e.g., C004B) and symbols, e.g. 86C765. Find appropriate string
	group in vgadb on boot diskette and insert there the string you
	found in dump, obeying the string format.

	Try to boot from diskette again. If your graphics works well now,
	do
		disk/kfscmd allow
		a:
		cp /n/a:/vgadb /lib/

	then try to boot from harddisk again.

	However if you get something different from video bios dump,
	you just have to give us more information.
