  I'm trying to use the Minix Demo program but my computer keeps
locking up.  The following is what my screen shows before it
locks up:

Memory Size=832k   MINIX=156k    RAM disk=192k  Available=484k

Executing in real mode

Loading RAM disk                              Loaded: 45k
                                                      ^^^
The computer is a IBM clone 386-33Mhz with a 64k cache.  I've tried 
running with the cache off and also with Shadow ram off.  I've got
4 megs of Ram installed.  The computer usually locks up somewhere 
between the 45k and 115k loaded message.  I've been able to have the
Minix load completely only once in about 8 tries.  The same boot disk
will work on two other computers that I tried at work, but not on
mine.  Has anyone else had a similar problem?
