Pardon me if this has been asked before.

I have version 1.2, and I've been trying to install it into my hard
drive without success. I have a 386 with an ESDI hard disk. I want
to install MINIX into the fifth partition, but the driver I made
with mknod doesn't seem to work. MINIX seems to recognize only the
first two partitions using the drivers created with mknod. Did I do
something wrong or missed something?

Another peculiar thing I noticed is that after boot-up, I have to
switch my computer down from 25mhz to 12 in order for the root file
system disk to load properly. Otherwise I get disk errors.

Jack
