I have a PSION 5 and I have purchased the XTM 8086 emulator
from www.nb-info.co.uk; it works really well with DOS so I thought
I'd try minix. The boot loader starts OK, but the kernel won't boot.
I think it's having trouble when trying to deal with Hard Disks
as the emulator doesn't have any. But I can't seem to compile
a kernel WITHOUT ANY HARD DISK SUPPORT. If I put "0"
on every hard disk option the compilation breaks down at table.c

Is it possible to compile a minix kernel (2.0.2) without any hard
disk support?

Leo
