Re: Running QNX on VM-Ware Server
I recently used to use for Neutrino emulation VMWare server 2.0 Beta during couple of months, and I don't remember any
serious problem besides regular bugs usual for any beta version.

The following thread is my current take on making QNX 6.3.2 it work on ESX.

It can be made to work on ESX, but it takes some voodoo work. The install CD doesn't detect the LSI controler. In fact
the .boot file doesn't even have the necessary driver. But you can boot from the CD and then run the OS from it.
Once that done you need to start devb-btmm btmm ioport=1060,irq=9. I guess ioport and irq could change. Unfortunately
devb-btmm doesn't support pci vendor and device it.
Once that's done, you need to manually setup the HD ( fdisk, dinit, etc ) and then via QNET make a copy of another
machine HD content.
And then finally you need to make a custom boot image and start devb-btmm before diskboot:
devb-btmm blk auto=partition btmm ioport=1060,irq=9
waitfor /dev/hd0t79
diskboot....
