Per the instructions in the dosutil directory on the Minix CDROM, I recently
tried to combine the root and usr images onto one high density 3.5 in.
floppy disk.  Using fdvol, I did the following:
fdvol 1440 a: root.mnx usr.mnx

Fdvol appears to work correctly with no errors.  When I boot the disk, it
asks me for the location of the usr disk, and I type /dev/fd0.  The install
then complains about missing files and comes to a stop before I reach the
login prompt ....so I guess I did something wrong.

Since I've got two floppy drives, it's not critical that I get this working.
However, it just irks me that this doesn't work.  Anyone got any
suggestions?  I haven't tried using wrtdsk or rawrite yet.  Perhaps I
should.

Thanks,
Andy
