Does anybody out there have minix running on an HP Vectra?
We've got a vectra ES/12 and a plain old vectra, (AT compatibles) neither
of which will boot the minix 1.2 for AT/512K distribution from Prentice-Hall.
During the boot, I get as far as the first menu, so I can fsck disks, and
start loading the root file system, but upon the first disk access, I get
the error:

unexpected trap vector >=16 This may be due to accidentally including
a non-MINIX library routine that is trying to make a system call.
pc=0x154 text+data+bss=0x900

Any clues??

If somebody's fixed this problem, I'd sure like to get a copy of his
bits.
