Forum Topic - Shadow files in .altboot?: (1 Item)
   
Shadow files in .altboot?  
I have 6.3.2 installed on my x86 host & target (host and target are the 
same machine).  For .boot, I want to use the QNX-supplied version, 
qnxdmabase.bld. The supplied /etc/config/ttys file starts 4 sessions on 
con1-4.

I am using the System Builder in the IDE to design my own .altboot. I want 
to provide my own /etc/config/ttys, but I don't want to alter the provided 
one that gets used in the normal boot.

In other words, I want to preserve the as-installed ttys file, but I want 
a different one to "seem" to be there after an altboot.

Can I do this as an inline file in System Builder, or add my custom ttys 
to /proc/boot or something?

I only have a tenuous understanding of the image file system concept.
