I tried a different trick which also worked.  I booted DOS from a
floppy, went into DEBUG, dumped the VGA BIOS at C000:0000 (32 KB worth)
to a file which I then placed in the UNIX file system.  Making VGAROM
point to that file, instead of the default file, worked fine.  This was
on a clone VGA unsupported by 386/ix 1.0.6, VP/ix 1.1.0.
