Using your new image, I confirm that your fixes are working. I could boot and install the system with arch as amd64. In the "configure vga resolution? (yes, no, skip)[no]: I selected "yes". It proceeded to show me a list of resolutions (8 different options). Since my monitor has the highest resolution of 1920x1080, I selected that. Next it asked for "image depth[no default]" where I typed in 16. But it kept looking there, whatever I keyed in. If I proceed with "no default", I see that the PLAN9.INI file in the 9fat partition (which I mounted with 9fat: command) has the resolution set as "1920x1080xno default". So, after installation, I got dropped into a text console, probably because of this error. Also if I opted to create a user name (called "ram") for me during installation. But I don't see the lib/* files under /usr/ram. I see a few files under /usr/glenda. Aren't some of these boilerplate init files copied to the user home directory during installation? Thanks again. Doing another installation now, but without opting for a vga resolution during installation time to see if I can get rid of the "no default" thing in the plan9.ini file. I will change that file later after the installation to pick the right resolution. -- Ramakrishnan
