Hi firaz,
 
I'm not very much aware of the problem or it's solution. But from what you have 
written, I feel that you have not been able to create a minix filesystem on 
your floppy.

You might have taken a look at it, since it is part of the linux_scratch 
project.

http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_scratch/appendixa/util-linux.html

go to the ftp site listed here and download the tar file(Pick up the latest 
version). It is sized some 1.75 Mb.It has all the linux-utilities required for 
the 0.01 version of linux.

I havent tried making a minix filesystem on a floppy using these sources. Hope 
you can make it. Put the results on the list. 

Also, if you are unable to access them, let me know.
