[comp.os.minix] PC Minix 1.44 drive problems - need help

vickde@vicstoy.UUCP (Vick De Giorgio) (01/30/91)

I've been following the discussion of 1.44 floppies under 1.5.10,
but perhaps not closely enough. I'm using the new bootblok.s from
this group.

I have a 360K floppy as /dev/fd0, and a 1.44m floppy as /dev/3d1
(I made a 1440 device with mknod proto). My system boots fine from
the 360K floppy, but won't tar past block 1200 on the 1.44. Is there
a patch for this in FS? Or is this a known problem? 

Will changing the drives around and booting from the 1.44 fix the
problem?

email would be nice ;-) =V=
