If you will transform it to an ext2 partition you must use the mke2fs, not
minit. Minit creates MinixFS partitions, not ext2.

Simply run mke2fs. The only thing you need is an XHDI compliant
harddiskdriver.

Can you help me with documentation? I really don't have enough time to
update all the docs everytime I changed something.
