I have Minix 1.2 and a XT clone with 2 10Mb hard disks.

I want to get Minix to work with my 10Mb hard disks.

The disks are Seagate ST-213's and have the following parameters:
512 bytes/sector 17 sectors/track 2 heads 610 cylinders

I know that I'll have to some hard-coding of these parameters in
xt_wini.c in order to get up and running.

What other programs must be changed? fsck? mkfs?

Please reply via EMail.

Thanks,

car.
