  Well- everybody has to start somewhere. I just received my copy of Minix
for PH the other day and attampted to boot up. I put in the boot disk, then
the root disk, and I got the message: "File system panic. Unrecoverable
disk error on device 2/0, block 1." I assume the disks are really ok, I
have the 8088 version of Minix and am trying to run it on a 386 clone with
a 1.2M drive. Is there some kind of workaround, or do I really have to go
out and get an 8088 machine with 360k drives? Thanks in advance.
