I have also had problems hooking up a hard disk to minix. In my case, I
have an Atari ST, and I am trying to hook up a SYQUEST drive (44 meg
removable cartridge) assemble by Toad Computer. At first, I thought the
problem was the non-standard configuration of my drive: the hd is drive 1,
and there is no drive 0. However, I changed STWINI.C, recompiled and rebuilt
minix (on a single floppy drive 1 meg system, what a pain!), and
modified /dev/Makedev in the obvious ways, all without success. Do I
need a completely separate device driver, or is there some small change
I have simply forgotten to make?
