QNX boot issue on a DM&P Vortex86SX (486 clone)  
I'm trying to boot NTO 6.3.x on one of these little 300MHz X86 parts.
http://www.dmp.com.tw/tech/Vortex86SX/

It loads the image from CD, then hangs after printing the first 'Hit ESC' etc. and about the right # of dots - nothing 
ever happens after that.

I've tried SP3, 6.3.2 and the RT CD - all behave the same.
I've also tried booting from a disk - it gets a tiny bit further - prints the 'press Space for options, D to disable DMA
 message', but accepts no input, and does no more.

The chip is a 486 and has no FPU - is this something that we'd expect to work ?

I tried Fedora 5's boot disk, and it got a little way before complaining at the lack of FPU and 'Giving Up'.

Thanks

Dave
