I am trying to re-make my kernel to run on a 3 head 27 sector
Miniscribe hardcard, as recommended by ast (and others).  I have
defined NR_SECTORS in /usr/include/minix/config.h to 27, so as to
override the default setting in xt_wini.c.  I have also altered the
hard-coded setting of blocks per track from 17 to 27 in read.c

Is this enough?

I should add that it doesn't work - what do I try next ??
