I have been trying to use Minix1.5.10.1 to install Minix on my Harddrive. I have a nice 12 meg partition (2nd partition on the disk) but I can't seem to even come close to accessing it via Minix. For exampe... the instructions say that 'When Minix boots, a partition table is printed.', yet I don't see any such thing when I boot Minix. Am I missing something obvious here? Also the docs mention HDToolBox... exactly what is that? Any help is appreciated. -sdickens@dante.nmsu.edu

The amiga minix hd driver only supports Commodore hd controllers.
HDToolBox is a Commodore program to make partitions on harddisks etc,
it is distributed with all their controllers.
I guess that, since you don't have HDToolBox, you don't have a Commodore
hd controller (A590/A2090/A2091/A3000)?

I have a Commodore A2090A and Seagate ST1096n and the disk supplied by Commodore for the A2090/A2090A, but there is no HDToolBOX program. John.
