An excerpt from the relay by Andy:
>> It seems that the Minix Compiler is buggy in respect to goto's.

See what happens when you use bad words??? :-)


And now for the good news....

I finally found some time to hack in the changes by Jim Paradis to
mount root from a hard disk. except for a couple minor typos and
many hours rebuilding (because of a typo that affected h/const.h),
it was duck soup... Jim said to change the define for ROOT_DEV in
h/const.h to 0x31. The correct value is 0x301. Dont let it bother
you Jim, I had fun tracking the error down and now I only have to
use one floppy to bring Minix up! / lives in partition 1 and /usr
lives in partition 3. I was planning on using partition 2 for /tmp
but now I think I'll use ramdisk for it.

Gawd, this is great, 'scuse me while I go change my underwear.....
