I believe (because I had the same problem before rearranging my system so that
minix was on drive 1 and DOS on drive 2) that there are some problems in the 
code that reads the partition table off the drives.  I don't remember for 
sure, but I think the bug is that minix ALWAYS reads the partition table off
drive 1, no matter what.  But I "fixed" it by making a very small DOS 
partition on C:, which basically booted drive D: for DOS, and a larger
minix partition on C.  So, take a look at the code which reads partition
tables.  -Scott
