  During the Christmas break, I thought I would upgrade PC minix
1.3.  I have the P.H. 1.3 AT disks, online and I can recompile the
sources, however, when I build the 360K boot disk my problems start.

I get the message "Booting Minix 1.3..." and I hear several tracks
loaded in.  I then get a the read error, and it reboots.  This cycle
continues until I kill it.

I have the 1.1 Hardcover manual, and I beleive I am following the instructions
properly, however I could use some help.

PS.. I am running a 512K IBM XT with a Hard-disk and two 360K drives.
