:) ok i have finally installed everything and it looks ok, but i have 
this IIsi setup sheet here and it says to change some files (/etc/ttys) 
about some vt100 deal. since i can't pico or vi in this minishell, how 
can i edit this? i tried booting my IIsi but it crashed hard. it seems i 
am missing a vital setup step to the IIsi! :)

                         .   "        ^     .            ^
        .            o^                                    ^o          ,
            .  , ' .$; [the boogeyman <boogeymn@psyber.com] ;$.  ' ,  .
              ;p   '$,        (finger for pgp key)          ,$'    q;
               ^ .   o .                                  . o    .  ^
                          ^$  p   o                  ^
