===== Using two disks =====

If your computer has two hard disks on the IDE controller
and you are installing MINIX 3 to the second one, sometimes
there can be a problem booting. This problem occurs if the
second disk does not have a correct boot program in the MBR
(Master Boot Record). To solve this problem, boot MINIX 3 from
the CD-ROM, log in as root, and type:

<code>
installboot -m /dev/c0d1 /usr/mdec/masterboot
</code>

This command will install a proper MBR on drive 1 and you
should not have any more problems. You may have to reinstall
MINIX 3 however.
