Well, I finally got Minix 1.5, but I have a problem.

In setting up my harddrive, I am trying to setup partition 3 to hold my
RAM root partition image (ala the manual).  I allocated 510 blocks for
the partition (making it bigger than I need).  I then ran

	/etc/setup_root /dev/hd3 150 32733 7133 510 0

to setup the root partition image with a RAM partition of 150K.
However, when I boot using this partition for loading the RAM
partition, I get the following message (I think, it flashes by quickly):

	Panic: Not enough memory for root partition

and the system reboots itself.

I have a Hyundai AT Clone with 1 Meg of memory and a 40 Meg drive.

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Vernon
