[comp.os.minix] bad bootblok.s; networking code

cox%v70nl.decnet@nusc.arpa (V70NL::COX) (10/06/88)

I also am having problems with the MINIX 1.3c bootblok.s.  The symptom is,
after the initial 'Booting MINIX 1.3' message, I get a 'Read error. -
Automatic reboot.' message which repeats until I stop it.  I am running on
a Zenith Z-248 with a 1.2 Meg floppy as the boot drive.  The boot disk that
I'm using was created on a 360K drive, but this has always worked with
earlier versions of bootblok.s.

On another topic, I want to report that I do have the amoeba networking code
running on my machine with the NONET option.  (There MUST be more than one of
us!)  I haven't had much time to use it other than to run the client-server
sample programs.  I'm also trying to dig up some Western Digital cards so
that I can actually run the system on multiple machines.
