HELP! I tried the Shoelace package out and it all worked fine on my "generic" XT----except, winiboot. I tried the check procedure outlined in the readme file. I made a copy of the partition table on a floppy and tried the laceup on this partition. The boot from this floppy worked fine but when I applied the same procedure to my hard disk---it got stuffed. I have a 20M hard disk that has so far been working fine with Minix, in fact it is still working when I boot from the regular Minix floppy but DOS no longer boots! In addition to other help could some kind soul mail me a uuencoded partition sector for an XT hard disk? This could probably be patched to re-set up my disk the way it was at least! HELP! Thanks in advance, Kapil. e-mail: kapil@zpahod.uchicago.edu
