I want to get Minix-ST installed on my homebrew hard disk when the boards
all get mounted and the system is formatted properly.  I have a 60 Meg
Vertex V-170 (nice drive!), and I wonder how people are doing their
partitions.  I want to use 20-25 Megs for Minix, with the rest divided
between TOS and Magic Sac.  How many partitions are best for this?  Do I
have to have three partitions to get /, /tmp and /usr split?

Oh, I also have the ICD host adaptor and am using the ICD utilities.  Has
anybody installed Minix on a system using the ICD hardware and software,
and if so, has anybody got something that will read the real-time clock on
the ICD?  Patches to the BMS stuff would work, because I have been saving
articles with a view to this day for awhile.

Any advice gladly accepted.  I'm Unix literate, so you can talk techie
to me :-)
