Greetings,
I have an IBM PS/2 Model 70 (4MB RAM, 120MB disk) and am trying to get
Minix-386 running. However, I am having trouble with the hard disk. The
comments in ps_wini.c indicate that it has worked for the Model 70. However,
when booting Minix-386 (via Shoelace) with the ps_wini driver, two error
messages decorate the screen (and I paraphrase):
Controller is not ready in com_out
Controller may not be a ST506
The boot continues and I can run Minix-386 from the floppy, gratifying but
extremely limited. On the other hand, booting with Minix straight with the
ps_wini driver, no error messages appear, but the boot hangs, apparently while
executing /etc/rc, (though I'm not sure). On the other other hand, everything
works fine booting Minix straight with the bios_wini driver.
Can someone shine even a glimmer of light on my problem? If you need
more information, feel free to ask. Thank you much.
