For linux change //wdXc// to //sdX// (where //X// is the hard disk letter, e.g.: //sda//, without partition number). This is very important, **the idea is to point to whole physical hard disk, not to a partition!** The installation program in the VM need to write Master Boot Record and Partition Boot Sector in the hard disk to boot the kernel. If Minix doesn't have full access to the disk, the system won't boot natively when rebooted. | + | **Target machine physical hard disk**. This is the drive where Minix is going to be installed.
