[comp.os.minix] Minix on DG/One

clegg@tps1.dg.com (Alan Clegg) (05/08/89)

I am working with a Data General DG/One (IBM XT clone portable).  It has one
floppy disk (3.5") and a hard-disk (20 meg).  I am trying to create a set of
MINIX floppies for it...but don't seem to be able to.  

My method:
		1)  Boot minix (1.3) on my AT clone (works like a CHARM)
		2)  Use dd to copy disks from 5.25" disk to 3.5" disk
				(only copies 360k but that should be OK (??))
		3)  Boot from dd'd disk (boots OK to the point that it asks me
			to hit <=> to boot.)
		4)  Insert root disk, hit = and it freaks out.

Any ideas on how to do this?

I know that the DG/One drive is compatible with the 3.5" drive on the AT, but
I am not sure that my Minix has 3.5" disk support.  

Any ideas?
