hey, thanks! i didn't know that there was a problem with vesa and smp. (how do they come up with these standards.)
do i need to change my configuration to take advantage of this? here's what i currently have: (i know the bootdisk line is wrong; i killed my 9fat partition somehow. i didn't trust the install with my fossil so i cooked this up (incorrectly) by hand.) ; cat plan9.ini *nomp=1 bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcf bootdisk=local!#S/sdC0/fossil mouseport=ps2 monitor=vesa vgasize=1280x1024x8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes | | Ah.
