Trying to boot from USB so I can get Hugh Brown some pciinfo data.
The USB boots, starts the QNX loader on partitiion 4 but it cant find the operating system
Not sure what I am missing
Did the following
Fsys.umass -v fsys -l -n Direct-Access=usb0
fdisk /dev/usb0
This works fine, set partitiion 4 to QNX, put on the loaded, made the partition bootable
mount -p /dev/usb0 /dev/usb0t77 /usb
dinit -h -f /boot/images/usb /dev/usb0t77
for the .boot file I have
sys/boot
$ boot -v
sys/Proc32
$ Proc32 -p 1024 -l 1 -D
sys/Slib32
$ Slib32
sys/Slib16
$ Slib16
/bin/io-usb
$io-usb
/bin/Fsys
$ Fsys -a -l 0 -c 100 -r 16384
/bin/Fsys.umass
$ Fsys.umass -v fsys -l -n Direct-Access=usb0
/bin/mount
$ mount -p /dev/usb0 /dev/usb0t77 /
/bin/sinit
$ sinit TERM=qnx
Any help would be appreciated

Do you have a /etc/config/sysinit file? sinit looks for this file.

Hugh,
Not yet...I will add it...but think I have an problem with .boot
When I start the USB i get
Qnx Loader
Boot Partition 4
Missing Operating System
I did get a warning that the OS size exceeds 630784 bytes and may not
load correctly
so I took out the slib16 to get the size down and I still get the
missing os warning

Have you tried dinit'ing it without the '-h', so that it thinks that it
is a floppy? Some BIOSes think that it is a floppy.

Hugh,
Yes, it does not work....it knows there is a partition table on the device
I will grab one of my other USB drives and see if I can format without a
table

Hugh
In attempting to get the OS running on the PowerEdge R200, I was doing
some experimenting on the Dell PowerEdge 860 and found that io-usb locks
up the machine.
Can you take a look at the show_pci output and see if there is something
I can do to correct this.

No, I can't see anything strange about the show_pci output. I will have
to pass this on to our USB expert to have a look at it.

Hi Dave,
Have you tried to force different CHS geometry for USB Stick ?
Try to pass another "CHS configuration" to Fsys.umass and then create QNX4 partition once again.
Good luck,
Jacek

Thanks, that allowed me to boot off USB. Running into limitations with

630784 but seems to boot ok

I am using this usb boot on the PowerEdge R200. I have included io-usb
in the boot image and it crashes at D1:0000FE6E

I really don't know what's going on. I suggest that you speak to your
sales rep to try and find a resolution to this problem.

Hi Dave,
> I am getting the OS size exceeds 630784 but seems to boot ok
In my opinion the OS image ~630kB is too big.
Have you tried with any other but smaller image (just to see if it will boot fine) ?
As far as I know OS image with size less than 620kB is all what can do.

Jacek

The theory says close to 640k but the thing is the BIOS takes somes spaces of it own out of that 640k.I have seen a PC
equipped with a network card that had a ROM BIOS that couldn`t handle image bigger then 520k. Your mileage may vary.

Jacek,
I downloaded and tried to install the new 2009 experimental product CD
and I get the same error.
I made a boot file that was only 320k that just runs show_pci and it
crashes at the same location as Fsys.atapi FE6E
Talking with support team now, hopefully can get this sorted
out...customer getting anxious

Dave,
Try to boot from USB Stick on the other machine.
Can you send this or any other OS image which fails on your hardware ?
My image ~618kB boots fine from USB here.
