I've been talking with Andy Tanenbaum about Minix.

He says he doubts that it will run on a 68030 based machine 
(ie A3000, A2500/30). Minix does not set up the MMU.

I figure if the power up state if the MMU is "safe mode" it should
be irrelevent. Doesn't the Amiga ROM (1.3) set up things like caches/MMU
registers before booting?

Has anyone gotten Minix running on one of these machines?
