Have you tried the lba48 option.
Re: QNX 4 on large drives  
Im unsure how to use lba48.

Is that part of  Fsys.ATAPI  or Fsys.eide.

Re: QNX 4 on large drives  
I have installed QNX on SATA disk Samsung 250 Gb, controller Intel 82801EB (ICH5) in a mode of compatibility. The size 
QNX partition 80Gb. I used standard install disk QNX RTOS v.4.25E. At this stage standard Fsys.eide has proved to be 
perfectly. After replacement in kernel Fsys.eide on Fsys.atapi from archive QNX4-atapi_20050429.tar.gz (a line build 
file $ \bin \Fsys.atapi fsys-Ndsk1-n0=hd0.-n5=cd0. atapi lba48) the system also was loaded. However after settig in BIOS
 " extended SATA " mode (are simultaneously connected 4 PATA and 2 SATA the device) Fsys.atapi at loading not find out 
the hard disk, and mount has not mounted file system. The second trouble was found out after creation of sections for XP
. mount has informed, that the size of my disk of 268435455 blocks (fff'ffffh), and partition FAT32 borrows space from 
the block 239951943 up to 280912590 and could not mount ANYTHING!!! QNX it was not loaded. Probably someone has solved 
these questions, Please I ask to answer.
Re: QNX 4 on large drives  
I am using (example for detect a large secondary disk): Fsys.atapi fsys -Ndsk1 -n0=hd1 atapi ioport=0x170,irq=15,master=
lba48
No problem with 300Gb disks

Good luck
