Has anyone ported minix to an HP Vectra.  It won't boot as is.

Thanks,

Does Minix work on the HP ES/12 Vectra? This is one of the  newer
ones  that  supposedly  does  not  suffer  from  the braindamaged
keyboard problem.  When we boot Minix we get  a  stray  interrupt
from  com 1, then the system just locks up. A F1 shows that FS is
waiting for FLOPPY which is  waiting  for  HARDWARE.  The  floppy
motor  remains on until the system is rebooted. Which wini driver
works with this system? at_wini?  It  seems  to  have  a  Western
Digital  controller and has an ST225 drive. Should we use xt_wini
with the fixes for the western digital controller?

        Thanks,
