Hi Frank,

Ahh...interesting. That piece of the documentation will need to be
changed. The boot image on the DVD is actually 2.88MB and I would guess
your floppy is 1.44MB. 

In this case it's probably easiest to copy the image from your system.
The stock boot images should fit on a standard 1.44MB boot floppy. The
images can be found under /boot/fs on your Neutrino system. In this case
I'm going to pick the most standard one: qnxbasedma.ifs.

dinit -F -f /boot/fs/qnxbasedma.ifs /dev/fd0 

You can replace /boot/fs/qnxbasedma.ifs with /.boot if you would prefer
to use the exact same image as your current Neutrino host.
