Message-ID: <51490@nigel.ee.udel.edu> Date: 22 Apr 91 08:38:49 GMT Sender: mmdf@ee.udel.edu Lines: 21 Hi all, During the weekend, I had time to get the Disk up and running - at least partially. First I discovered, that it was all my mistake: I had modi- fied config.h to have the root file system on /dev/hd3, but had it on /dev/hd2 after partitioning and restoring. So Minix couldn't find its root file system and crashed. I fixed that and went on to try the 2nd drive. I just mknod'ed minor no. 35 and 36 and everything went fine, until - until I tried to readall -t /dev/newdisk. Afterwards Minix didn't recognize any of my HD's. This still is the case: I can mount and use the SQ555, but I can't use readall or read from the plain device. By the way, until now I didn't try to remove any media, while minix was running, I'm going to test that later.
