- In the FAQ sheet, it says that you need to set some define to the number
- of sectors and re-compile the system. Well, I just got Minix 1.5
- running with my Western Digital RLL controller just fine. The fdisk
- command lets you specify the number of heads and sectors.
-
- Am I looking for trouble if I don't set the number like it says in the
- FAQ sheet?
