        Hi,

   Is there any way to get the boot process in minix to do an automatic BIOS
reset of my hard drive?  In particular I need to do a hard disk check from
fsck on /dev/hd2 every time I boot up.  I believe this initializes the
HD controller and allows MINIX to use it properly.

        If there is a fix or diff that will allow me to do away with this
time-wasting and very frustating problem I would be eternelly grateful. :-)

        I am running MINIX 1.3 on a true IBM AT compatible machine (100%
compatible) with at_wini.c as the wini.c.

        Thanks in advance.
