[comp.os.minix] Boot MINIX from harddisk

jnall%FSU.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu (John Nall 904-644-5241) (01/04/89)

1.  Does anyone have the 1.3d version of dosread/write/dir working?  Mine
does not work (it gets an illegal trap message) and I've noticed mail
which indicates other people have the same problem.  I've tried it on two
different computers (Zenith Z-241 and Jameco AT/clone.

2.  Assuming the answer to the first is "yes" could I get a copy?  It is
my understanding that the 1.3d version allows dosread/write to/from hard
disk.  Is that correct?

3.  Has anyone made mods to boot MINIX directly from the hard disk?  I
would sure like a copy of the mods, if so.

Thanks in advance for any help.  Reply to jnall@rai.fsu.edu (Bitnet).
