I want to add a minix file system to my harddisk. Does a minix partition
have to lay within the first 32MB of the harddisk space? I have read
that a minix partition is limited to 32MB. Because with DOS 3.x, which
also had partition size limited to 32MB, the root partition had to be
within the first 32MB I want to know if this is the case with minix 1.5
too. I have already partitions of about 160MB on my disk.

Thanks,
Kai Uwe Rommel
