[comp.os.minix] Help!! building boot disk ???

	Hi
		I need some help with building a boot disk.

	In attempt to use my XT clone hard disk, with version 1.1
	I copied xt_wini.c from the 1.2 disk to my 1.1 kernel/wini.c
	file.  I was told this would allow to use the hard disk so	
	that I could complete the upgrade to 1.2.  the kernel compiled
	fine.  However when I executed the build command, I got the
	following msg after it loaded all of the files and displayed the
	total size (112k),

	"Build Kernel data space: no magic#"


	The boot disk that was created will boot to the point that you
	type "=" to load the root file system, then it just hangs and
	never even accesses the a: drive.

	One thing that I did not do is to recompile the fsck program ??
	( I havn't got past the no space on device 2/0, msg with fsck yet )
	could this be the problem ??


	Any help would be great, I only have one 360k disk at home and
	I need the hard disk to get to 1.[2-3].

	Thanks in Adavnce
