Hello all.

I am having a problem with the upgrade to MINIX - 386.

I have followed the tutorial to the letter, but when I boot off my newly
built 5.25dshd disk, this is what happens:

Shoelace starts, builds the image (mm kernel fs init) then the Starting Minix
message appears, then The screen clears, the Memeory available mesage appears,
then the Running in Protected Mode mesage appears, AND THATS IT.

Pressing F1 shows that all the tasks are there, except INIT.
Also nothing is running (I.e pc and sp are not changing)

For the reacord I have a 25 Mhz 386, 4Mb RAM and 64Kb cache.
Minix - 16 bit works fine - no problems.

Thanks in advance,
Bevan Anderson
