I found them too, and made the same fixes by deleting the offending lines.

I fixed this by adding a line to minix/com.h:
    #define DEV_WRITE   TTY_WRITE
in the printer defines. This is obviously only a temporary solution and may
be entirely wrong. Does anyone know how fix it correctly?

I've got there too. The only thing I've noticed so far is the CTRL-ALT-F1
dump display no longer gives any information about which command initiated
each user task.

There is a problem in stwini.c if NR_HD_DRIVES is defined as 0
in minix/config.h - basically the whole of the stwini code has to be omitted
by adding ' && (NR_HD_DRIVES > 0)' in the right #if.
