Hi all,
Set my plan9.ini vesa resolution incorrectly... I get dropped to a shell on
boot, but I don't know of any non GUI editors for plan 9.
Can anyone suggest an editor?
Thanks,
Jason

been there once, used sed, did the job for me. about the only thing it lacks
when compared to usual interactive editors is edit-in-place. work around that
like:
cp php.ini php.ini.broken
sed '(stuff)' < php.ini.broken > php.ini
or use the standard text editor: ed ;-)
a more plan-9-ish way would be to export relevant namespace subtree and work
from a different machine, i guess... but i have no idea how to :D

clearly, the easy way to do this is learn ed. if you know how
sed works, there are only two more commands that need learning: w and q.
however, in this case, there's a trick. announce thy self as none,
and vga will not be started.

I used sed and cat. Now up and running fine.

I use a plan9.ini with a menu. I make sure to have one menu entry with
everything "=ask" so, if I screw something up, I can still get a
sensible boot by specfying each setting manually.

Yeah, there's ed. Booting the install CD is another option.
