There's a quite easy solution to your problem, if your harddsik is big
enough ... ;-)
I did it this way:
I've got two identical minix partitions on my hd (f,g). KGMD is installed
on bothof them; g: is for actual use whereas f: is the backup.
I added the following lines to my mint.cnf :

ren g: u:\sys
ren f: u:\shdw

sln u:\sys\usr   u:\usr
sln u:\sys\bin   u:\bin 
sln u:\sys\etc   u:\etc
