HELP!!!

I resently purchased a Seagate ST238 RLL hard disk (30Mb) and wish
to install Minix Ver 1.1 on it. I am having trouble installing it
in partition 2 with partition 1 set up as DOS 3.3. I am using
the minix command

	mkfs /dev/hd2 <partition size>

I keep getting a error when accessing the hard disk. I can, however, install
minix in partition 1 with no problem. 

I am running on a IBM-XT compatible. 

					Thanx,
