Minix for the Amiga makes too much specific use of the 68000 to be able
to work on non-68000 Amigas.  Some specific areas are the handling of
stack data after exceptions and the use of the upper 8 address bits as
encoding of interrupt vectors.  I believe there is a fixed binary only
version that fixes these problems that is FTPable from some place or I
can forward you the description of the source code fixes which I keep
from the minix mailing list.
