I am looking for anyone who's installed Minix on the Atari ST with a
Haba 10 Meg drive.  I tried to mkfs onto /dev/hd5 but it kept telling me
it had an error on put_block (?) and gave me a list of blocks it couldn/t
write.  I checked the disk from TOS and it told me I had 10545142 bytes,
so my mkfs command was:

mkfs /dev/hd5 10545

(error list)

The Haba software doesn't come with partitioning programs, so I decided
to use the entire disk for Minix.  What am I doing wrong?
