7 easy steps to the successful installation of AmigaMINIX:

At all times keep all original distribution floppies write protected!

1. make a backup of the BOOT floppy with a copy program that can copy
   AmigaDOS disks, if you use diskcopy you'll have to use relabel to
   give the copy the name BOOT.
2. insert the BOOT floppy in the internal drive and reset the computer.
3. insert the root floppy when prompted to do so.
4. login as root
5. chmem +8192 /bin/ls; chmem +8192 /bin/rm
	(this is made necessary by changes that we made in the new version)
6. make backups of all floppies except the BOOT floppy, as described in
   the manual.

We assume that you use the copies of the floppies for all operations
described below.

7. to make step 5 permanent:
7a. copy chmem to /bin.
7b. for each of floppies 2 to 5:

	insert the floppy in the internal drive and type:

	/etc/mount /dev/dd0 /user
	cd /user/bin
	for i in *
	do
	chmem +8192 $i
	done
	cd /
	/etc/umount /dev/dd0

Using your Commodore hard disk with AmigaMINIX:

When MINIX boots, a partition table is printed.
The format is: minor device number, size, name.
Example:

   1        0  MDH0      # a SCSI hard disk with 3 partitions
   2       33  MDH2
   3       33  MDH1
 225       10  DH0       #  XT IDE drive found
 226        7  MINIX
 227        1  DH1
 228        0  MBOOT

If the information does not roughly correspond with the information given
by HDToolBox DO NOT MAKE an AmigaMINIX partition, since that may overwrite
your AmigaDOS partitions.
SCSI LUNs (logical unit numbers) other than 0 are not supported.

Setting up your harddisk for AmigaMINIX:

- Create a partition on your harddisk called "MINIX" of at least
  8 MB. If you don't want to have the command sources online 5 MB
  will do.
- Look up the minor device number of your MINIX partition in the
  partition table. Using the above partition table, this is 226.
- Compute the size of the MINIX partition in kilobytes, here 7168.
- Create the device node to access the partition.
  cp /usr/bin/chmod /usr/bin/mknod /bin
  /etc/umount /dev/dd0
  insert floppy 7 into the internal floppy drive
  /etc/mount /dev/dd0 /usr
  cd /dev; rm *hd*
  /usr/Makedev
  /etc/umount /dev/dd0
  insert floppy 3 into the internal floppy drive
  /etc/mount /dev/dd0 /usr
  ls -l /dev | grep 226          # the minor device number
  If no filename shows up you'll have to make the node yourself, e.g.
  mknod /dev/s00p1 b 3 1   0     # scsi disk on address 0, partition 1
  mknod /dev/xt0p2 b 3 226 0     # xt disk, partition 2
- Create the MINIX /usr filesystem, using the device name just found.
  mkfs /dev/xt0p2 7168
- Copy the distribution floppies to /usr.
  cd /
  rm /bin/mknod /bin/chmod
  cp /usr/bin/test /usr/bin/echo /usr/bin/cpdir /bin
  /etc/umount /dev/dd0
  /etc/mount /dev/xt0p2 /usr
  /etc/setup_usr
- Correct the timestamps of some include files.
  cd /usr/include/minix; touch *

The /usr partition on the hard disk is now ready for use.
