Hi.
I am making my tiny OS. which is based on minix. currently i am
loading my OS image from floppy disk. now i want to transfer this image
from floppy to RAM at boot time. so subsequent file I/O can be
perfromed directly through RAM disk. Does Minix have any RAM disk
mechanism? how to get started for RAM disk driver with help of minix
source?

The 3.1.2 beta does have a ramdisk in the image (for loading the harddisk
driver). So you can use that as a starting point.

by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make.
