I know this is hashed out on the wiki, and has a long track recorded in 9fans, but why is it that we can boot from CD on VMWare and then install but then never boot from the installed system? Yes, echo hwaccel off > /dev/vgactl is required. Yes it is set, but the first reboot and fossil (&| venti) will just hang and nothing happens to get into a usable system. I do need to read up on rdb usage, though that gets a little complex w/o an actual serial console. Is there something that can just be copied over from the plan9.iso that would let the system boot and be usable under VMWare? jas --upas-cyxfslaiijcdalmjfumxbfhckh--
