Re: [9fans] Help with Plan9 Install

I don't think you were looking at what I typed
when you did this.  Boot and log in as none,
which leaves you at a text % prompt (none doesn't
get vga by default, for exactly this kind of thing).  Run

    ed /rc/bin/termrc

This will start the editor ed, editing /rc/bin/termrc,
which will print a number on a line by itself.  Type

    /aux.vga

This will move to the line that starts aux/vga.  It will print
something like "                 aux/vga -m $monitor -l $vgasize".
Then type

    a
    echo hwaccel off >/dev/vgactl
    .

which will add the line "echo hwaccel off >/dev/vgactl"
after the line you're currently looking at.

Then type

    w
    q

which will write the file and quit the editor.
You should be back at a % prompt. Run

    fshalt

to make sure the changes are on disk, and
then you can reboot and log in as glenda.
