[comp.os.minix] Amiga help needed for backing up these MINIX disks!

Hi,

Well, the MINIX package is nice, except I can't seem to make a CORRECT
backup of disk #2. Everytime I place the copy of the ROOT disk I made,
it boots up telling me that I have a 157 RAM disk instead of the 117K
message that the ORIGINAL says. Then, my copy hangs just at the point
where it asks the user to remove the root file system and insert the
USR disk in drive 0.

To make a copy of disk 2, I formatted a 720K MSDOS disk using DOS-2-DOS,
then I started MINIX with my original disks and used diskcopy to make
a copy of disk 2. Am I doing something wrong here? HELP!

Lastly, who is the gentleman working on the GVP driver for MINIX?
(EMail address please). Thanks.
