I don't use MINIX, but I've read some about DOS + other OS.

Assuming you have reformatted your HD so it now has MS-DOS
and MINIX; you must tell your computer that you want to boot off
a different partition.  This is done by using the command 'fdisk',
which sets partition changes and also sets up your partition to boot
off of.

I advise that before you try this, copy fdisk onto a DOS floppy
so you can later use the floppy to come up in DOS and change
the boot partition back if need be. (pain in the A huh?)

Warning: I've never done it. Check it out.
