The only cause of this screen trashing that I can think of is that you used the wrong version of the loader with the wrong version of the image, when you update the minix.img you also have to update the minix program, the loader. The update on plains is out of date anyway. You might want to try latest_aminix.lzh in directory /pub/sreiz/minix on ftp.cs.vu.nl. regards, Steven Reiz
