	I've got a Xerxes 386 computer and would like to know
	if any of the Minix versions would work on it.

	A Xerxes is made up of a DTK Corp 386 motherboard @ 20MHz.
	It has a Western Digital Dual floppy/hard drive controller and
	an 80 meg Seagate ST4096 hard disk.

	I tried booting v1.3/AT but after inserting the root disk,
	it said that it wasn't the root disk (but I know it was cuz
	we tried it on another [8086] computer and it worked fine.)

	Anyway, could the problem be that it can't boot off of the
	1.2Mb 5.25" drive?

	Help would be *greatly* appreciated.
