When I finaly made all the necesary arrangement (copied minix.img.bu etc) to 
get Amiga Minix to boot it failes to read the root file system, with the 
message:

"Unrecoverable disk error on device 2/8, block 1
 winchester_task received 3 from 1
 Unrecoverable disk error on device 3/3, block 1
 File system panic: Invalid root file system

 MINIX halted

 Please reset your Amiga"

I started with a writeable copy of the root disk, and thought that I've just
made a bad copy, so I tested to do a new copy and use it, but no, no, I still
got this terror message in my face. Finaly I tried to boot on the original
root-filesystem disk (write protected of course), but still got this annoying
message. Is the original disk erroneous, or might it be an ordinary RTFM error?
I haven't seen any postings on the subject that other disks than the boot
disk was corrupted, so maybe my copy was mangled by the mail-man?

My system is an A500 with 1Meg memory and only internal disk drive.
