[9fans] Second silly question of the day..

[Ish Rattan]

I was running a standalone cpu/auth server with rio too on console.
To try a new monitor I changed the line from uax/vga -l 1024x768x8
to 1280x1024x8 in /rc/bin/cpurc just before exec command for rio..

The system does boot but console is blank (monitor does not know how
to display). I triwd to get into the system using drqwterm from a FreeBSD
machine and user bootes but it won't let me change the file cpurc :-(

Any ideas on fixing the problem????

When I mess up my cpurc/vga I boot it as a terminal using a regular
9pcdisk.gz kernel; then I fix it---of course that's to avoid rebooting
the file server to put it into `allow' mode. 

But maybe there's  a better way...
