After you used the script for installing the / and /usr filesystems,
did you edit /etc/rc that originally tries to mount /usr on /dev/fd0
to the hard disk partition you installed /usr on. Don't edit /etc/rc
on the ram disk, mount your root partition on the hard disk on /user
and edit then /user/etc/rc.
After installing MINIX on your harddisk you still need to boot from
diskette I suppose, did you change the default root device with the
menu option r to the hard disk partition it resides.
Hope it's helpful
