[comp.os.minix] hard disks

How do I partition a Hard disk if the hard disk thinks it's a 40 Meg and
dos and Minix think it's a 20 Meg? Presently if I go ahead and partition
it any way, dos is unable to reconize the partition so that I can format it.

Previously I wrote in about having a problem getting kermit (or
anything else) to talk with my modem on a IBM ps/2 model 30. I added
the lock directory and that took care of that, however I am still
unable to talk through the rs232 port.  The problem appears to be a
ps/2 problem because I don't have any problem getting to the
modem on my AT clone with the same setup.

Next question:
