I see, well I removed the cdrom. But when installing plan9 I entered ega (or 
was it cga?!) in order to not start rio. Maybe I should just run through the 
installation process again - which is extremely slow here.
Anyways, text mode now works fine, but when I'm changing /dev/vgactl 
with "echo type vesa > /dev/vgactl" and "echo hwaccel off > /dev/vgactl" 
after a reboot the file turns out to be the old one looking like this:
type cga
bland time 30 idle 0 state on
hwaccel on
hwblank off
panning off
addr p 0x0 v 0x0 size 0x0

BTW: When I enter "echo type vga > /dev/vgactl" i get
echo: write error: bad VGA control message "type vga". And it seems that
I cannot edit the file with ed.
