When i call up epoch on a sun4 I get a minibuffer that is
exactly the same size as the working-zone (where I edit files).
This causes hell with autoraise and stuff.
 
How do I tell epoch to use a normal size minibuffer on startup?
Is the problem something in my init file? I only have two lines.

;; auto-raise on focus even
(setq auto-raise-screen nil)

but this shouldn't affect the *size* of the minibuffer!

It sounds like you have an Xdefault of the form

epoch*geometry: 80x24

which will cause the minibuffer to be that size also. Add an Xdefault like

epoch.minibuf.geometry: 80x1

and that should fix your problem.
