If you have the Adaptec SCSI bios installed, the bios parameter block will
indicate to Minix that there are two hard drives.  Minix does not understand
that only one of the hard drives is on the standard AT controller.  As a
result Minix will hang when it attempts to read the partition table from
the second hard drive.  To fix this problem, you must hard code the
number of hard drives into at_wini.c.
