Hi Nestor,

That means TeX cannot find a file by the name of t1pmnj.fd (spelled out, t1(T1 encoding), p(Adobe), mn ( MinionPro), j (with old-style figures), .fd (font definition)) which should have been created by otfinst as part of its conversion of MinionPro in otf format to a collection of PostScript fonts with associated support files. If you have not performed this step, it may be easier to use the second method, involving XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, but I think those won't work with the cmap package. 

If you do decide to try to use otfinst, it is much easier to use the TeXFontUtility menu item---it creates a custom versions of otfinst that doesn't mess up up your font setup. Don't be alarmed if it takes an hour or more to run all the steps.

I don't see any problems with your loading order, as long as you do have the the proper minion support files.
