I agree with Mark.

When there is no MINT.INI in the MiNT directory, and when there is no 
BootstrapArgs variable in the ARAnyM config file, mintara.prg enables the 
MMU usage and it fails miserably because aranym-jit does not support MMU 
usage. This is a headache for newcomers.

When using the Bootstrap feature of ARAnyM, the solution is to use 
BootstrapArgs = MEM_PROT=NO

When using mintara.prg in the AUTO folder, the solution is to go to the MiNT 
menu by pressing Shift at boot, disable memory protection and save the 
settings (in MINT.INI).

In any case, FreeMiNT should detect this situation, avoid crashing and 
display a useful message for the user.
