I had 2 MessyDog partitions and a Xenix partition on the same disk, and now I have a Minix partition, although it's empty (I couldn't get my at_wini to work, but I'm trying. There seems to be no problem at all with "odd-boundaryed" partitions, for I had almost all of them on odd boundaries, and the first one even starts at cylinder 0, head ONE, sector 1, instead of head 0. All of this working all right - until I decided to put Minix on it :-( Marcelo A. Ferreira Gomes (Wally Gator) PS.: to all of you to whom I told my mailbox was full: it has emptied down so I can get messages without getting lost among them :-)
