Where does the installer script live? > a proper screensize looks like XxYxD where X,Y is the screen size in > pixels, and D is the bit depth. i use 1600x1200x16. I set it to 1280x768x16. My monitor/VGA Controller resolutions seem to be missing from the /lib/vgadb perhaps? Erik, thanks for putting together and maintaining 9atom. Without it and your help, I wouldn't be running a Plan9 system today. I will do my best in terms of bug reports and code to give back to the project. -- Ramakrishnan
