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:

installboot_nbsd -master /dev/c0d1 /usr/mdec/mbr

This command will install a proper MBR on drive 1 and you should not have any more problems.

If you are using only one disk but it don't boot for some reasson you can issue the above command too, changing

/dev/c0d1

to

/dev/c0d0
