Help. I am a UNIX user and have been trying to get minix to boot on my compatible for the longest time. Here is the problem: I boot 1.1 with the boot disk. All works well.I get the proper menu and no screen garbage. I can check the filesystem, check and list the filesystem, mak a filesystem, check the hard drive (although i get an error here ..its a dos disk) but it refuses to load root. Upon hitting the "=" to load root...the cursor moves one line down directly below the "=" and hangs. Sometimes it will move to the bottom and say: Unexpected trap: Vector <16 pc = 0x4478 text+data+bss = 9A00 what is going on here? is it the bios? It boots on othere machines.. ..help me mr. tannenbaum.....please!
