-
- Hi all!
-
- Has anyone successfully 'minited' a large partition? I'm close to give up.
- I've got a 512meg Fujitsu HD on my TT, running MiNT 1.04. The HD is formatted
- and partitioned using HDX 5.0, my driver is AHDI 6.02. (Older ones down to
- 6.0 didn't work, either) My partition scheme is 80-180-32-32-180. The minit.prg
- works fine on partions 3 and 4, but I can't get it to work on any other
- partition (minit.prg from mfs60pl4). When I say 'minit -V -n 2 g:', it tells
- me: 'physical read error sector 0', or something like that. Anyone any ideas?
- Steve? - Is it my driver, or what? I thought the docs read that large
- partitions are now possible without caring about sector sizes, minit and
- minix.xfs would do themsaelves?
-
- I'd really love to have my large partitions being minix ones...
-
- Cheers, Joe
