Lost at the beginning of getting QNX running on PC104 Advantech PCM3350   
I have a slightly older PC/104 board lying around (Advantech PCM-3350 with a 64mb Compact Flash card). I've tried using 
the x86 install cds, but they require at least 1600mb on the partition, and obviously my CF card is too small. It also 
seems as though I should be able to get this installed by creating an OS image in the QNX system builder in Momentics 
(running on Windows 7), doing my development there, and then loading it onto the PC/104 using FTP or something like that
. However, I can't find any sort of tutorial or documentation that actually lays out how to do this. I'm quite lost 
about where to look or what to do, I've been trying my "google-fu" and searching these forums for people with similar 
problems but it seems as though I'm stuck far before other people.

Is my only solution to use a bigger CF card or a newer PC/104 board? I'd really like to get this working with the 
hardware I have as I don't want to buy things without any confidence that I can get things working on there.

Please let me know if there is any other relevant information I can give you.

This was quite helpful I think!

I'm not totally sure it is working. The board I have has a vga-out, so I plugged that into a monitor and I get nothing 
when I turn it on with the boot disk in (I think I formatted/performed all the f32qldr instructions properly). I assume 
this could be for a number of reasons, one might be that I'm using the generic x86 bsp. I can't find one for the 
specific board I'm using. Is there an easy way to test if I've booted qnx properly on the PC104?

Also, is there a way to set its IP address so I can send files over via FTP?

Thanks so much for the help, this is very much appreciated.

Ok, made a bit of a mistake, forgot to plug the other end of the VGA cable into my monitor....

Sorry about that.

Now, when I turn it on, I see the bios start screen, then it shows: 

32qldr Version 1.01
  Filename /BOOT.IFS
  (a bunch of #'s)
 Image read to address 0x00110000
  Transfer control....




And then it hangs there. So far I've waited a few minutes and nothing happens. I'm not quite sure if this is good or not
.
