I've noticed a problem with { Minix, dd } where it will not recognize all the 40 Meg of my ST-251 hard disk. Once it hits the 32 Meg limit it complains about a bad block and quits. My disk is divided into a 5 Meg partition and a 35 Meg partition. I know this setup works, I used to have Microport Unix on it and it had no problems. I also know that there are others out there running Minix on large disks. FYI I am running Minix 1.5.10 on a 386sx, 2 Meg of memory, the 40 Meg disk and a 20 Meg disk, boot using Shoelace, etc. (I haven't installed the 386 Minix patches yet, I want to use the 35 Meg partition for all that good stuff...). Thanks in advance. -- Thomas V.
