Minix 2.0.3 disk image Jason Klumker (jklum@cyberspace.org) October 2, 2002 Any questions specific to this image should be directed to Jason. This is a complete MINIX 2.0.3 disk image for use with the bochs x86 emulator. It includes full sources and networking (USR.TAZ CMD.TAZ SYS.TAZ NET.TAZ) and has been tested with bochs-1.4.1 on linux-x86 (glibc-2.2.5 gcc-3.2 linux-2.4.19) and WIN98SE. Also tested successfully with bochs-2.0.pre3. Please visit the bochs homepage (http://bochs.sf.net) for other questions. I changed the bochsrc to give this image 64MB RAM, because MINIX seemed to decide that's how much it had (even when bochs was only giving it 8MB. . .) ---- December 2002: repackaged by Eric Northup in preperation for the Bochs 2.0 release. ---- Notes from Bryce Denney, December 2002: What it first boots, you will see the screen: --------------------------------- Minix boot monitor 2.16 Press ESC to enter the monitor Hit a key as follows: = Start Minix --------------------------------- Press the equals key (=) to continue booting. Then it will get all the way to the login prompt, "noname login:". It's asking for a username and you should type "root". Normally then it would need a password but in this case root has no password so it lets you right in. At the # prompt you can type UNIX commands such as ls, cd, df, cat, vi, man, cc, and many others. When you are ready shut down, type the "shutdown" command. This takes you back to the monitor, which has a prompt that looks like "d0p0s0>". At that point it's safe to just press the power button to kill Bochs.
