I also forgot to mention, I tried using the QNX 4.25 2009 boot floppy available on the website here, but this did not
work, it does not boot up properly.

You can change your disk/CD names as follows:
Edit your /boot/build/install.$node file
Change the Fsys.atapi line to read just $ /bin/Fsys.atapi
Change the mount line to read $ /bin/mount p /dev/hd0 /dev/hd0t77 /
cd /boot
make b=install.$node
cp images/install.$node /.boot
Then you must edit your /etc/config/sysinit.$node file and change all
references to hd0.0 to hd0 and all references to cd0.0 to cd0.
Reboot your machine.
Hope this helps.
