Data Minix Installation
hi, I'm trying to install Minix 2.0.3 on an old gateway2000 4dz2-66 manufactured back in 1995. After I ran 'part' in setup, It make the root/swap/usr subpartitions and then I get this message:

installboot: No such File or Directory

This was when i had my /usr disk in,here is teh output i got when using root disk:

/tmp/setup: install: exec format error

and it dropped me to command line, thus not letting me complete the installation.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

PS: gateway2000 4dx2-66 specs if needed:
some intel processor 66 mhz
640 kb ram plus 16mb ram extended
640mb HDD
