	A couple weeks ago someone was asking about a problem with using
a VGA card with minix.  I had the same problem when I installed my ATI VGA
card.  When I booted minix it would hang immediately.  This is caused
by the VGA card generating an interrupt on IRQ 2 every 60th of a second
(vertical retrace interrupt).  This can also happen with some EGA cards
(I think).  To stop this just don't enable IRQ 2.
