Hi folks,
I am hoping someone here with a wealth of QNX knowledge will be able to help me out in a tricky situation here.
I've ordered a new PC, Advantech Motherboard Q35 Chipset AIMB-766 and IDE Hard Drive.
I was originally trying my floppy disk version of QNX 4.25A which consists of 5 or 6 floppy disks to install the
operating system.
However, upon using the Boot Disk and getting to the bit where it trys to find the hard drive. It says it couldn't auto
detect the adapter, so I select Fsys.eide, after which an error message appears "No Adaptors Found!" and continues to
display "Waiting for /dev/hd0 to initilize" until it asks to reboot.
I tried using the QNX 4.2 RTOS CD which installs QNX fine and detects the hard drive and cd rom drive fine. (Seems to
use Fsys.atapi)
However, the naming convention for the HD and CD rom are different.
CD-ROM = cd0.0
Hard Drive = hd0.0
It is important that the hd0.0 is hd0 and cd0.0 is CD0 due to the software that is required to be installed.
Is it possible to do this?
But the big bonus for me is, would it be possible to somehow get the fsys.atapi onto a bootable QNX floppy and be able
to boot up qnx with that and then continue installing from the remaining floppy disks?
Hopefully I've made sense, any help is appreciated!
