- You haven't really provided enough information for any of us to help
- you much. Have you tried the demo disk? It sometimes boots on machine
- that the regular boot disk has a problem with. Do you have 32M of memory?
- Minix will refuse to boot if thinks there is no memory. Your IDE drive
- should work fine. There are so many other things that it could be, I
- just can't list them all.
- I suggest you try to repost with your system configuration and a
- description a little more descriptive than "I am having a little difficulty"
-
- I have just booted a 486/33 with an IDE drive and didn't have any problems.
