I'm having problems getting Minix 386 to come up.  I purchased the
Prentice Hall release (1.5.10), successfully applied the patches and
compared the checksums.  I made a 386 boot floppy with shoelace and it
boots all the way to the point where init execs login.  I see the
"login:" prompt but it doesn't get any input from the keyboard.
Eventually, login is suspended (pending keyboard input) and it never
comes back.

I'm having a hard time thinking of anything that could be wrong that
wouldn't also be true of the non 386 setup.

Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.
