[SOLVED] Minix hangs at boot

Post by dcj123 »

Hello everyone,

Minix 3.2.1 hangs up on Virtualbox 4.3.12 when booting, it hangs up on "Starting Networking: dhcpd nonamed". I have tried both the PCnet-PCI II/III adapters with NAT and Bridge connection types. Does anyone know of a work around?

Sorry to double post but I found a work around, seems dhcp is broken on either Minix or Virtualbox running Minix. I fixed it by selecting a bridge network and creating a IP reservation on my router while using a static ip address on Minix. I have Minix working with internet now.
