I've just bought an 386 based PC compatible and dug up my original 1.1
diskette set to see if Minix would boot.  I get up to fsck and can
fsck all 7 of the mountable disks with no problems, but when I install
the root disk and try to boot, the system goes into an infinite loop
of spining the diskette and not doing much else.

Before I start debugging the problem, I thought I would see if maybe
an upgrade was a better idea.  My question to the group is: should I
wait until August and buy the 1.5 upgrade; should I try to find
somebody to get the upgrades from; or should I wait for the 386
version to be available?

Reply directly and I will sumarize if there is interest:
