Minix 2.0.3 disk image

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. . .)

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.
