Probably this is found for the one-hundred-and-oned time,
but becoming root isn't that difficult.

Do the following:
	Start up MINIX
	Login as a casual user
	unmount the /usr filesystem ('/etc/umount /dev/fd0' if /usr is mounted
				     on diskdrive 0)
	type cntl-D

And now you are in superuser-mode.
