I need help with minix 1.1 on a PC Limited (dell) turbo pc
w/ ega (xt clone)
In trying to upgrade to 1.2 , I created a partion on my hard disk
( fdisk , mkfs ) and then created a directory called minix on it.
Under minix I have the nine subdirs mentioned in the manual. I mount
the hard disk on the /mnt dir.
Next I started copying files ("cp") from the src directories on my
floppies
to the hard disk. BUT I am getting the following error MSG
"Kernel panic: WIN wont reset"
type space to reboot
I also got this msg once when i tried a "mkdir" on the hard disk.
Also with my system I must boot dos first and then do a cont-alt-del
to boot minix, or it hangs when it tries to load the /root
file system.
Any help would be great !!
Thanks in Advance.
