> Where does the installer script live?

the usb installer is in /sys/lib/dist/amd64.  the part that runs at boot is in
the install directory.  i think the bug is in the vga script in that directory.
(not to be confused with aux/vga.)  it may not do the right thing if there
are no edids.

vesa graphics do not use /lib/vgadb.

no problems.  that's why it's there.

once you have things installed, you can submit patches
with apatch (see patch(1), as the man page is currently missing.)
