- Minit initialised a partition on your hard disk, or a floppy disk to either
- Minix V.1 or Minix V.2 filesystems. It is not a driver, minix.xfs is the
- driver which should be put in the same directory as MiNT so that it will be
- found at boot time.

-
- I can't remember, it's been such a long time since I used it. I suggest that
- you get the latest version of minixfs from atari.archive, I believe it has
- docs. You should find it in atari/mint.
