I stuck a link in the download pages that lets you download an
experimental diskette image instead of the normal one.  Try that
and see if it recognizes your vga.

I downloaded a recent Plan9 distribution. I attempted to reinstall
completely my Plan9 system. I found that the installation failed.
aux/vga complained that it could not find my card in /lib/vgadb .
The command pci lists my card with the correct Vendor ID for NVidia
cards 0x10DE .

So this must be a bug in a recent aux/vga.

My card is a Riva TN2. I have already Plan9 installed with it, and
it works perfectly with Rio.
