Minix installation demo. Author: Kees J. Bot
|
||
|
||
+-------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
| This is a log of a Minix installation on my notebook |
|
||
| in the form of a number of screen images with bits of |
|
||
| explanatory text in these boxes. The floppy images |
|
||
| have already been made and the system is booted with |
|
||
| a diskette that contains both ROOT and USR combined. |
|
||
| That is why I typed 'fd0c' after starting Minix: |

This is the Minix installation script.
|
||
|
||
Note 1: If the screen blanks suddenly then hit F3 to select "software
|
||
scrolling".
|
||
|
||
Note 2: If things go wrong then hit DEL and start over.
|
||
|
||
Note 3: The installation procedure is described in the manual page
|
||
usage(8). It will be hard without it.
|
||
|
||
Note 4: Some questions have default answers, like this: [y]
|
||
Simply hit RETURN (or ENTER) if you want to choose that answer.
|
||
|
||
Note 5: If you see a colon (:) then you should hit RETURN to continue.

|
||
|
||
+-------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
| I hit the ENTER key and am asked about my keyboard |
|
||
+-------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
What type of keyboard do you have? You can choose one of:
|
||
|
||
french italian latin-am scandinavn uk us-swap
|
||
german japanese olivetti spanish us-std
|
||
|
||
Keyboard type? [us-std]
|
||
|
||
+-------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
| I'm blessed with a standard U.S. keyboard so I type |
|
||
| ENTER again. Now it gets serious: |
|
||
+-------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
Minix needs one primary partition of at least 30 Mb (it fits in 20 Mb, but
|
||
it needs 30 Mb if fully recompiled. Add more space to taste.)
|
||
|
||
If there is no free space on your disk then you have to back up one of the
|
||
other partitions, shrink, and reinstall. See the appropriate manuals of the
|
||
the operating systems currently installed. Restart your Minix installation
|
||
after you have made space.
|
||
|
||
To make this partition you will be put in the editor "part". Follow the
|
||
advice under the '!' key to make a new partition of type MINIX. Do not
|
||
touch an existing partition unless you know precisely what you are doing!
|
||
Please note the name of the partition (hd1, hd2, ..., hd9, sd1, sd2, ...
|
||
sd9) you make. (See the devices section in usage(8) on Minix device names.)
|
||
:
|
||
+-------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
| ENTER brings up the 'part' partition editor. The |
|
||
| question marks indicate that no partition table is |
|
||
| loaded yet. I must first choose a disk. |

|
||
| There are two partitions already present on the disk, |
|
||
| one that contains setup stuff for the notebook and a |
|
||
| 208 megabyte partition that already contains Minix. |
|
||
| The AT disk driver has tickled the IDE disk to make |
|
||
| it tell its type and make. It is a message from deep |
|
||
| in the kernel, not from part. |
|
||
| For this install I want a new partition, so I move |
|
||
| over to the Size field of the first unused slot, line |
|
||
| 3 with type "None". I could type a number now, but |
|
||
| I want to use the rest of the disk, so I hit 'm' |
|
||
| there once or twice to let part propose something. |

Hit return if everything looks fine, or hit DEL to bail out if you want to

think it over. The next step will destroy /dev/hd3.

| Lots of files are put on the disk. It is a combined |

| ROOT+USR diskette, so both parts are installed with- |
|
||
| out pause. When done I am greeted with the following |
|
||
| message, showing that Minix has a short memory, |
|
||
| because at boot it said: Memory size = 8010K. I |
|
