Linux 0.01 doesn't seem to like it if the disk is set to primary (hda), and will error out with an "HD controller not ready" kernel panic error. I'm not sure if this is an emulation bug, the way this disk was set up, or a weird quirk with the OS, but using <code>-hdb</code> fixes it.
 
Technically, this image isn't a "pure" Linux 0.01 compilation, since its been fixedmodified to build on Ubuntu 20.04. The original source code would need to be built using an old version of MINIX that had the proper GCC tools.
 
This release also uses the Finnish keyboard layout, which can't be changed yet. To use slashes, hold shift and press 7, to use dashes, press the / key, and to use commas, press the . key. Quotes are done with shift and 6.
