I am trying to create 2 hard disk file systems with Minix 1.2.  The
first partition is 2MB (Dos thinks this is its D: drive) and the
second partition is 19MB (E: drive)..  I tried typing:
 
mkfs /dev/hd1 proto
 
After I did this, I got an error that said something like "file proto
not found"  (I don't remember the exact wording.)
 
What needs to be in this file?  Am I going about this the right way?
 
Thanks!
Robert
