I have run the 0.0.4 distribution install with fs type = "80" as indicated
by Riley and all seems to be fine. I will amend my install instructions.

The significant issue, then, appears to be the DOS fdisk to start with.

Apologies for any confusion that I have caused.

Thanks

Neil

I tryed type 80 do, but it gets an not minix fs too. Some other person
helped me with changing the scripts (mounting the image as loopback
device), cause it maybe had something to do with the harddisk itself, i
got thru the installation with a harddisksize of 5,5mb but the thing
wouldn't unmount and ended up in errors. We modified the scripts so that
we could manually could unmount & cat the bootsector, but machine didn't
liked it...
I didn't fdisk in DOS... but if needed, i will do this.
Btw in the documents of Neil is type 81 used instand of type 80.

Going to try my luck tomorrow,
