I purchased Minix 1.5 a few weeks ago and have tried to upgrade it
to Minix-386.  I have got it to the point where I can boot Minix-386
off floppy and it seems to work ok, but some of the commands don't
quite work right after recompiling them with the 32 bit compiler.

1) ps dumps core almost all the time.

2) who gives bad output.  Only root should be logged on.
   The last line of this output looks like the only valid one.

   USER     LINE       TIME     ACTIVE   PID
   root     tty0     07:06:05  23:52:28  1
   rlm      tty0     07:16:06  23:42:27  1
   rlm      tty0     07:19:30  23:39:03  1
   root     tty0     07:21:01  23:37:32  1
   root     tty0     07:43:14  23:15:19  1
   rlm      tty0     07:56:28  23:02:06  1
   root     tty0     06:54:01  00:04:33  1

3) df lists my other floppy too many times:

Device     Inodes  Inodes  Inodes       Blocks  Blocks  Blocks    Mounted on
           total   used    free         total   used    free

/dev/PS1     488     139     349         1440    1412      28     /usr
/dev/PS1     488     139     349         1440    1412      28     /usr
/dev/PS1     488     139     349         1440    1412      28     /usr
/dev/PS1     488     139     349         1440    1412      28     /usr


Has anyone else had similar problems?  Does anyone know how to fix this?
Are these symptoms of a more serious problem?

Thanks!
