I have installed minix 1.5 on an old amiga 1000 with only 512k of ram.
However, after booting I can't do much with it. Most of the commands
won't run, and I think this is because there is not enough free memory
(I can run commands where the binary is less than about 13k! that
means no ls)

Anyhow, I figure there is about 160k being used by the ramdisk, so does
anyone know if it is possible to mount the root device from a second
floppy, rather than the ramdisk? I mean without recompiling the minix.img.

Any replies appreciated.
Regards,
Ivan
