Installing on OSX with Virtual Box, is no problem. Minix3 is running oke.
Even X11 is installed. How? See the forum (Kristofer Younger).


Installing on PC caused problems and is still a problem.


Information about my Pc with the linux commando: lspci

Processor: [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron]

VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS480

I have made a bootable CD with minix_R3.3.0-588a35b.

The CD boots allways with the minix menu.

Welcome to the MINIX3 installation CD



After de installation menu “1. regular MINIX 3” we get

WARNING: couldn't open cd9660 (//cd9660/cd9660.mod)

Loading /mod01_ds


 etcetera ...

Loading ramdisk from /dev/c0d3p1




Multiuser startup in progress 


Starting hotplugging infrastructure 
 done.

Devmand error: could not open event file /sys/events bailing

Starting services: random pty uds ipc log printer.

Starting deamons: update syslogd.


Welcome to MINIX.


Then:

login: root

...

# setup




Keyboard type? [us-std]

--- Step 2: 
 distribution

--- Step 3: Create or select partition for MINIX 3 --


I pressed ENTER for automatic mode


---Substep 3.1: select disk


Disk [0]: dev/c0d2, 152 GB

In use by Minix (151 GB)

In use by EXTENDED (957 MB)


Enter disk number to use: [0] 0


---Substep 3.2: select disk region


[0] In use by Minix (151 GB)

[1] In use by EXTENDED (957 MB)


I deleted [1] and after that I deleted [0], the result was:


[0] Free space (152GB)


Enter the region number to use or type 'delete' : [0]


Press ENTER

Type yes


---Step 4: -- Reinstall choise --


no old /home found. Doing full install.


-- Step 5: --- Select the size of /home


I took the proposed default sizes.


Root /dev/c0d2p0s0 subparticion 128MB

/home /dev/c0d2p0s1 subparticion 31133 MB

/usr /dev/c0d2p0s2 subparticion rest of c0d2p0


--- Step 7 Wait for files to be copied ---


--- Step 8 Select Ethernet chip ---


13 Different Ethernet card (no networking)


Configure methode? [1]


Press ENTER

I emoved the MINIX3 CD.

Type


# reboot


Booting result:

error: unknown file system.

Entering rescue mode 


grub rescue>


Trying

grub rescue> ls

(hd0) (hd0,msdod3) (hd0,msdos1,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1,msdos1) (hd0,msdos1)


grub rescue> ls (fd0)/boot

error: failure reading sector 0x2 from 'fd0'.


grub rescue> ls (hd0)/boot

error: unknown filesystem

and so on.


Unfortunately no MINIX working on my pc.

What am I doing wrong?

I do not believe this NIC has a driver (yet). And MINIX without network
connection is... less useful.
Perhaps you should stick to the virtual machine then? Unless of course
your point is to create a driver for this NIC (which would be welcome.)

So the disk was previously formatted. As a result, MINIX installation
did NOT install its code in the MBR, leaving whatever boot loader was
previously there.

Entering rescue mode …
grub rescue>

Clear. The boot loader of your system was GRUB; you did not change it,
MINIX did not change it silently behind your back, so it is still GRUB.

I do not know if current versions of GRUB has MINIX3 support as default,
but I am sure ancient versions did not.
I have no idea how to update GRUB at a non-working system (I guess the
easiest path is to boot some Linux distro and use it to "repair" just
the boot loader) but this should be dealt with Google's help.
If you go that way and end with a working procedure, it would be useful
to document it on the wiki then; thanks in advance.


The other solution is to reinstall from scratch the MINIX boot loading
system. Boot the MINIX CDROM, then at command prompt you can use

# installboot_nbsd -m /dev/$DISK /usr/mdec/mbr
to install the MBR code (erasing what is currently there, thus disabling
GRUB in your case.) $DISK looks like c0d0

# part /dev/$DISK
to make sure the Minix partition is marked active (let's name it
$MINIX_PART, in fact it will look like c0d0p0)

# installboot_nbsd -f /dev/$MINIX_PART /usr/mdec/bootxx_minixfs3
to reinstall the 1st part of the NetBSD-derived boot manager; I do not
believe your case need this, I document it just for completeness

# mount /dev/$MINIX_ROOTFS /mnt
# cp /usr/mdec/boot_monitor /mnt
# umount /mnt
to reinstall the 2nd part of the NetBSD-derived boot manager; I do not
believe your case need this either; $MINIX_ROOTFS looks like c0d0p0s0

Right. My method is step by step. First install MINIX3 then the Internet.
I think that it should be possible to compose a driver for minix on the
basis of the existing (linux) drivers .

I don't have the knowledge to handle grub, so I use your “other solution”.


After loading minix3 from cd (that's an other problem, I will open an other
thread for that problem) I used

# df and #df -h

Result was:

filesystem Size Used

/dev/ram 34M 33M ...

none 0B 0B

/dev/c0d3p2 537M 537M


So I typed:

# installboot_nbsd -m /dev/c0d3p2 /usr/mdec/mbr

result:

installboot: permission denied

# who

root console Sep 17 09:01


I also typed:

# part /dev/c0d3p2

result was a lot of ? ? ? ? ?

When you installed Minix, you got two messages:

Loading ramdisk from /dev/c0d3p1


and

Disk [0]: dev/c0d2, 152 GB


They say that your CD-ROM is c0d3; and, your hard drive is c0d2.

[Lucas Weteling]

Hi Greg King,

You are right. Stupid me.

The disk is c0d2px:

c0d2p0s0 for /

c0d2p0s1 for /home

c0d2p0s02 for the rest of c0d2p0



I try again.

Thank you, regards,

Lucas

What was the problem:

After installing MINIX3 and rebooting, the message was:

error: unknown file system.

Entering rescue mode 


grub rescue>


Antoine Leca said there are two possibilities:

1) handle it with the grub commands

2) an other solution


I chose “the other solution”


Antoine:

# installboot_nbsd -m /dev/$DISK /usr/mdec/mbr

to install the MBR code (erasing what is currently there, thus disabling

GRUB in your case.) $DISK looks like c0d0


Lucas:

I reinstalled MINIX3 again.

After installing, I removed the cd-disk. Then I am sure I use the drive and
not the cd.

I didn't reboot and did not poweroff. So all parts of the drive are mounted
on the right place.

My drive is called c0d2, so I continued with


# installboot_nbsd -m /dev/c0d2 /usr/mdec/mbr


# part /dev/c0d2


<Loading Image...>

see picture

0 (zero) has an * (asterisk), so it's active, I think.


After reboot:

Welcome to MINIX 3. This is the boot monitor. ---

<Loading Image...>



Minix is using nr 2 Start latest MINIX 3.

First starting “nr 2.the latest” went wrong and I used number 6 MINIX3
(3.0.0). Now it's doing ok.

<Loading Image...>



Het <grub-rescue> problem is resolved.


Next step: now I need to compose a driver voor my "Ethernet controller:
Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit > Ethernet Controller
(rev 19)".


Thanks Antoine and Greg.

Hi All,

I have a problem and I wonder can anybody help me with it or not.
I tried to install Minix3.3 on VMware workstation (Windows 10). I installed
it and at the end it was mentioned to reboot. I did that and when I reached
the section which asks to create or select a partition I don't know what I
should mention because when I hit enter nothing happens.

Hi Kiana,

As you say, you got to the end of installation where you were asked to
reboot and you did so. Then, if you got back again to the installer asking
you about partitioning, I guess you simply booted into the install media,
didn't you?

Yes but I don't know what I should enter as my partitioning. I removed and
installed it again but after the setup is complete when I enter shutdown it
was written something about the usage of it. I entered power off instead of
shutdown and it worked. The attachment is my Minix on VMware when I powered
it on. can u please guide me what should I do?
And I am new to this OS so I have a basic question. When the installation
is done what will be shown?is it like others?

Hi Kiana,

Once you installed minix and reboot to get into the installed system, you
get the bootloader what you see on your minix1.png attachment. Just let it
count down and continue so that you get to the login prompt as it is shown
on your minix2.png attachment. Then you can logon with root without any
password and do whatever you would like to. This page describes the steps
you went through during installation and in the Next Steps section you find
a link to Post Installation steps to give you some
hints: http://wiki.minix3.org/doku.php?id=usersguide:doinginstallation
