Hello!  

I am running minix 386 on a 33 Mhz 386 would like to know if anyone has
successfully built such a system where only 3.5 in drives are present
on the machine.  Right now, I have a 5.25(A) and 3.5(B) drives but will be
losing the 5.25 shortly.  I plan on making the 3.5 drive drive A.  Is this
possible?  I tied this but my /dev/ files didn't seem to be correct for the
single 3.5 drive configuration.  Would I mknod /dev/at0 b 2 8 1440 for the
drive or would I use the same minor number as was used with the 2 drive
system?  (which BTW works wonderful --- thanks to all who make 386 minix
possible).

cheers!
