| 5105.1 | DEmo is PD also on fish 556 | WELSWS::GILMOUR | Mon Oct 07 1991 07:49 | 4 | |
The demo disk is PD, of course Minix is not. To get hard disk working
you will need to use the proper Minix system.

I just received a message saying that the Demo disk worked. But when
they bought Minix the boot disk would not work?. Yes, this is true
because its an old version which PH is shipping and thats why the
proper boot disk is available on DFS::SYS2:[AMIGA_MINIX].
When you have installed Minix proper. The first time it will try and
ZAP your /usr disk 03. To prevent this leave the root disk in the
machine and press enter. The disk will mount ok.
Then login to root using the idiotic password!.
type to the # prompt
# /etc/umount /dev/dd0
now put the /usr disk 03 in and type
# /etc/mount /dev/dd0 /usr
# chmem +20000 /bin/ls
# ls -lF
The directory is now listed the "/" means directory the "*" means
executable.
