I received MINIX 1.5 for the Atari ST yesterday and I already got some
questions:
1.) I'm not able to start MINIX from TOS by using minix.prg. I builded
the file minix.img by using rflop.prg in the following way:
rflop a: c:\minix.img 100000
inserting the BOOT-disk 01 when asked for.
When I start minix.prg (also on c:\) it breaks with the message:
minix.img: wrong format
MINIX boots from the BOOT-disk without any problem.
2.) Is it possible to use MINIX ST without RAM-disk, having the
ROOT-filesystem on harddisk. I've only one partition left for
MINIX, hence I can't use the proposed configuration (two partitions,
a small one for the ROOT and a big one for \usr) ?
3.) Running the /etc/setup_usr script the errormessage
sed: cannot execute
occured three times. Now it seems like all archieves are
not unpacked. What does the message mean? What to do now ?
4,) I've heard about a Patch to MINIX 1.5.10. Is it usefull and if,
where can I get it ?
I would be very glad, if somebody could answer these silly questions !!
