Hi !

    I'm relatively new to the list, but I've been "listening" to it for
a couple of months or so. The problem with the 0xAA55 is that some BIOSes
require a word containing such a value as the last word of the boot record.

    Since I'm not a Minix user, just a curious who intends to use it in
a near future, I don't know wether or not Minix's boot has it or not, but
if it doesn't, it should. This is the only thing missing, I guess.
