Hello,
This is my second posting about the same problem. Thanks to
those who answered the first time, but alas, your suggestions didn't
pan out so here i am again with (hopefully) more information. I am
trying to get MINIX 1.3 to run on a Jameco AT motherboard (JE3005, AMI
BIOS, 12 MHz, 0 wait) with a Zenith floppy/hard drive controler (which
i borrowed from a Zenith AT on which MINIX runs fine). I get the boot
screen without any problem, but when i hit the = to load the root file
system from the floppy, the system seems to hang. The F1 dump tells
me that FS is waiting on FLOPPY, FLOPPY is waiting on IDLE, and IDLE
is waiting on nothing. The only processes whose times go up are IDLE
and TTY. Also when i make an empty file system on a floppy and then
check it, it says, ".. missing in / (ino = 1) remove?" If i say yes,
i get a fatal error; if i say no, it says this:
INODE NLINK COUNT
1 2 1
adjust?
This has me completely baffled. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...
