I would want to install Neutrino 6.5.0 from DVD (qnxsdp-6.5.0-x86-201007091524-nto.iso) without Photon (GUI) only from 
commandline. Is that possible ?

Do i need to take another iso-image or do i need to press some button while booting sequnece ?

Re: How to install without Photon

In the past /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit used to look for the presence
of a /etc/system/config/nophoton file:

# touch /etc/system/config/nophoton

And then photon wouldn't be started.

Re: How to install without Photon

But it is not possible to type this command while booting from original boot-DVD, because it starts directly to photon 
without command prompt ? ?

Or should i copy the original boot-DVD and put /etc/system/config/nophoton-file to the copy ?
I dont exactly know how to do that, but i think it is possible. Maybe directly mounting iso-image (or via virtualmachine
 like Vmware) ?

Maybe i should go to an optician :)

There was following text in display in booting sequence:
"Press the space bar to input boot options .."

There was also possible to disable Photon..

Re: How to install without Photon

You appear to be running from CD, not installing. When you boot you should be given the option of installing or running 
direct from the CD. This would appear shortly after the "Hit space for options" message assuming you didn't hit any keys
, of course. The installation is all text based so you aren't actually running the installer.  If you just boot without 
hitting anything what happens?
