I have problems starting MINIX on a Schneider PC with hard disk card
installed.  When the hard disk is removed, everything works perfectly.
However, when I put it in MINIX is unable to read the root floppy.
The kernel, doing a transfer(), awaits a message from HARDWARE.  Quite
the same situation as when you leave the disk door open.

Any suggestions?
