Keywords: ST MINIX MINIX.PRG \AUTO\MINIX.PRG Booting MINIX Message-ID: <490@medusa.informatik.uni-erlangen.de> Date: 17 Aug 89 15:21:56 GMT Distribution: comp Organization: CS Department of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, West Germany Lines: 29 Hi, After having successfully compiled MINIX (it works ...) I tried the next step towards having my ST booting MINIX from harddisk: I put MINIX.PRG into the AUTO folder of my boot partition, MINIX.IMG onto that partition and booted - MINIX came up alright, *but* after telling me to insert the ROOT disk into drive 0 ("or specify root device ..."), which I did, it loaded the ROOT disk into memory (i.e. ram disk) but kept telling me that it got a signal (#4, I think) over and over again. Has anybody tried this before? Any help out there? Do I miss something here? Any suggestions?
