I wish to install Minix 2.0.0 on a SyQuest SparQ.

My Winnt PC tells me
IDE CD-ROM (ATAP 1.2)/Dual-channel PCI IDE Controller
  ASUS CD-S340
IDE CD-ROM (ATAP 1.2)/Dual-channel PCI IDE Controller
  SyQuest SparQ

Are these what part calls /dev/hd0 and /dev/hd5?  "r" refuses to say
anything
about either of them...
/dev/hd0
 at-ha0: timeout on commands 91
 at-ha0: reset failed, drive busy
 at-ha0: probe failed
 at-ha0: No such device or address
/dev/hd5
 at-ha5: Unexpected EOF
 at-ha0: Invalid partition table (reset)

I have two SCSI drives, one of which NT boots off.  I don't want Minix
to go on either of them.

TIA, PP
