This is because it is definitely a typo in the docs.  I looked in the script
"/etc/setup_usr", and it clearly wants the new /usr mounted under
/user.  So the line should read:
    
        /etc/mount /dev/hd1 /user
        
Other comments:  If you want MacMINIX to have more then 1 meg 
of Ram under the Multi-Finder, don't forget to change that in 
the "Get Info" dialog box.  (The docs didn't mention it, 
and its an easy thing to forget)
