I need help installing Minix 1.3 (virgin, slipcase version) on an AT with
a hard disk. The manual says nothing about this, although I note the presence
of /dev/hd[0-4] in the root file system. Could someone Email me advice 
regarding partitioning, etc.? Minix will have to coexist with DOS; this
isn't my machine, unfortunately.

Better still, if there is someone in the Boston area (Cambridge, ideally)
who is running Minix on an AT w/hard disk who would be willing to help
me, I'll happily contribute pizza and beer for a setup session. :-)
