I just received my copy of mac minix, excitedly tore the 
celophane off of the package and began reading the manual in
preparation for installing it. After a few false starts I was
able to get it installed and running. Not too bad really since I
have been following the traffic on this newsgroup and had the
benefit of those that went before me.

Anyway, I made a few errors in setting up my disk partitions so I
decided to remove it and re-install it with the new partition 
sizes that I had decided upon. After I deleted the old
installation and then cleaned up a bit so that I would have 
more room, I inserted my duplicate copy of the 00.BOOT disk and 
launched the Macboot application.  Here is the result:

	File system panic: Invalid root filesystem.
	Type any key to exit.

I figured that something happened to my duplicate disk so I made
another copy of the original and tried booting it with the same
result.

I made NO system changes from the time of the 1st installation
on. All I did was move some files from the partition that was to
house minix so that I could dedicate the entire partition to
minix.

After my 4th aborted attempt at booting from the 00.BOOT disk, I
re-initialized the partition that minix had been installed on
just in case. No luck here either.

Here is my system config:

	Mac SE/30
	5 MB RAM
	Quantum 40MB internal HD
	Maxtor 200MB external HD (Being installed on a 50MB
		partition on this disk)
	Finder 6.1.5
	System 5.0.5
	NO Additional INITs or CDEVs

Anyone have any ideas?

THANKS in advance!
