QUICK QUESTION:
	How do I bring up MINIX on a 1 floppy and Hard Disk system?

	I have one floppy and 2 hardisks.  When I try to umount the
floppy, I get "device busy" message. Therefore I can't use any of the
other MINIX disks; please do not tell me of a bug fix, since I can't
even get at the source disks!
 	I also can't seem to access the hard disk. (I've tried "mkfs
/dev/hd1", even after using chmem =BIG_NUMBER, but I still can't write
to the hd). (by the way I have 2 Hard drives, /dev/hd0 is MSDOS).
/dev/hd1 is to be all MINIX.		THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
