Hi All,
   Has anyone got rmaker for MacMINIX to work?  I tried to build the
macboot appliaction, and had no trouble compiling the kernel,fs,mm,init,
but when rmaker ran, it gave me an out of memory error.  I tried chmeming
it, but it kept giving me the out of mem error until I chmemed it above
300K, at which point it started crashing into macsbug with an illegal
instruction trap.  Is there a maximum on the value you can chmem?  I have a 
4MB Mac Plus, in mono-finder (has anyone got MacMINIX to work with
Multi-Finder (its version 1.5 BTW)?  Mine crashes immidiately if MF is
enabled), and MINIX says I have 3 Meg available.  I chmemed rmaker up to
1.5M, to no avail.
   I had a look at the documentation (read: source code) for rmaker, and it 
looks like it parses the whole file and then creates the resources.  I
tried using "macwrite NEWmacboot.kernel <kernel", but it stopped after
about 50 bytes (on a 255 byte, is that treated as an EOF char?).

Anyone have any ideas? suggestions?  Otherwise I'll have to delve deep into 
rmaker and see if I can figure out what it does (doesn't?),

TIA,
   Peter.
