Brandon and others,

I have set up MINIX on a hard disk with four partitions. The first
three are MINIX and the last is DOS. I did not have any problems in
doing this, but MINIX is quite flakey. Occasionaly it goes out to 
lunch with "unexpected trap" errors and I have to cycle the power to
bring it back up. I am going to try recompiling the kernel for an AT
and give it a try on there. The AT I have is a tiawan clone so we'll
also get to see how compatible it is. 

Does anyone have a neat idea on how to make MINIX autoboot from the 
MINIX partition on hard disk? I dislike having to juggle two floppies
to bring it up.

Still nothing interesting concerning the Western Digital Query.
