[comp.os.minix] A weird booting problem

About a week a ago, I posted an article describing the problem I was having 
with Mnx 1.5.  I have a XT clone with a ST225 HD, monochrome video card, and
an Multi-IO card.  It is the bear essentials at this point.  I ftp'ed the
Mnx 1.5 demo.  It booted without any problems, and it talked to the HD without
any problems.  I can't get the stock version of Mnx to boot.  It gets the root
file loaded and hoses up.  I can get a output of the processes(i.e. F1).  For
some weird reason Mnx is unable to load the shell.  I am at a loss.  The demo
disk worked perfectly, but the stock version is out to lunch.  I would apprec-
iate any troubleshooting hints.  I tried the my stock disks on another machine
and of course everything went without a hitch.
