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.)

What is the memory size of this system in kilobytes? [4096 or more]
最后一行询问系统的内存大小,一般大于4兆,于是直接回车使用其默认值。于是屏幕显示:
econd level file system block cache set to 1024 kb.
Please insert the installation ROOT floppy and type 'halt' to exit Minix.
You can type 'boot hd3' to try the newly installed Minix system. See
"TESTING" in the usage manual.

根据提示,在#后面输入halt,回车。屏幕将显示:

在>后面输入boot hd3,这时系统将重新启动。
四.安装基础系统。
由上面的引导进入MINIX,屏幕显示:

在“/dev/”后面输入“fd0c”表示以root或者usr模式登录,然后出现:

Login as root and run 'setup' to install Minix.

使用root登录,然后键入“setup”,开始安装MINIX。出现:

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.

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]
接下来的分驱是整个安装过程中比较繁琐的部分,我在安装过程中就在此卡住了十几个小时,显示如下:
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.
