I finally got to read the "Installing the Plan 9 Distribution"
(It was a few years wait that caused some inpatience)
and found some usefull tidbits.

Yes it is /vgainfo.txt that was being written.
But the message is:
aux/vga: dbopen: /lib/vgadb: I/O error

I noticed that plan9.ini is padded to 512 bytes and has \r\n
DOS styled lines.  If I want to change it do I have to confirm
to those rules, or are such things transparent.

Some more questions:
It seems that 9pcflop.gz contains all the drivers and that 
plan9.ini determines which one is used.
There is no more b.com ?
There was a size limit in old b.com , is it gone now?

Thanks,
Nikola
