While in principle I would expect that most people have hard disks, two
points are worth mentioning:

   a) Many MINIX users are probably hobbyists and students who can't
      afford hard disks.

   b) Given all the problems with nonstandard hard disks, a floppy
      based system at least allows hard disk systems to be developed
      for such beasts.
