QNX 6.3.2 x86 native ISO wont install  
After some time off from the QNX world, I'm pleased to know that 6.3.2 got a less restrictive usage from what happened 
step-by-step from 6.1 to 6.3  (see my post on OpenQNX about this subject). Yet I'm surprised I cannot install it on my 
new development machine, a Jetway J7F2WE2G motherboard (VIA C7 @ 2 GHz, 1 GiB DDR-2 @ 533 MHz, 500 GB SATA HD, ...), 
here's what happens on screen :

Please select a boot option. Option F2 is great for testing QNX compatibility
on new hardware without writing anything to the hard disk. It can also be
used for system recovery.

F2 - Run from CD (Hard Disk filesystems mounted under /fs)
F3 - Install QNX to a new disk partition

Select? <<F3>>
