When I boot as none, rc starts but I get > errors about missing files such as /usr/none, /bin/lib, etc. the errors when you log in as none are expected. i imagine that when rio (8½ is retired) starts, the vga mode setting code is where the problem is. since you have a single-machine setup, you can log in as none and add your own user. after you run /sys/lib/newuser, you can edit /usr/$newuser/lib/profile to not start rio, which will allow you to experiment. - erik
