[comp.os.minix] Minix Hosed on PC Convertible

Bad News.

I just pulled the 3.5's out of my Toshiba T1100+, and tried booting Minix on
a PC Convertible.  No dice.  It loads to the point where the fsck option 
screen is visible, then the machine locks up.  I'm not sure what the exact
configuration of this beastie is, but it has two 3.5 720k drives and a hard
to read LCD display...

Does anyone know why this wouldn't work?  It's got my friend a bit irritated!

BTW:  This rev of Minix (with posted hacks installed) runs ok on T1100+ and
Zenigth 181.  It will be checked on the Toshiba T3100+ sometime this week.  The
3100 has a 10meg hard disk...
