I just received my Amiga Minix package today, so I took the diskette I made
from the update in /pub/raymond on ftp.cs.vu.nl, and tried booting up on my
A3000. (AmigaOS disk installed with 1 line s:startup-sequence)

I get the insert root diskette message, and do so.
It echos back Memory 2004k minix 166k ram disk 160k avail 1678k
   ram disk loaded /dev/dd0 mounted, and asks for the date...

I enter the date, and get a Welcome to Minix message and
Login:

It locked up here, so I try again this time with the write protect on.

I can now log in as "ast" and ls the files. Wow!

Console messages keep showing up like:
  A590: INST=00 CNTR=78 XT=FFE0

but I could still look around.  Of course I did get some write protect messages.
Well that is as far as I went, I don't want to do much more until I can backup
the distribution diskettes.  I'll probably go home and try it out on my A5000
and A590.

I'm just surprised it ran at all on my A3000.

Thanks to you guys who are working on the Amiga Port.
When will the diffs be available for the hardrive & 680x0 support?
