Hi, I have a 286 with 1Mb ram which is currently running dos6.22 and 
windows 3.1, I have looked at ftp://ftp.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix/beta/1.7.0 for 
more information but that is just diskimags with little installation 
help, I have a 540 Mb hard drive but because bios does not have the 
correct setting for the hard drive i can only access 260 Mb Would it be 
possible to install Minix on the half of the hard drive that dos cannot 
access? and when it is installed can it be set to boot to dos by default 
(as the computer is used by my brother who would be lost if he had to 
boot to something other than dos). Is there an FAQ out there?

Thanks 
                      Brad
