QNX won't boot up  
Hi,

I'm trying to install QNX on an older Dell Optiplex off the CD.  I'm able to successfully make it through the 
installation process, getting to the "Congratiulations!" screen, but then when I try to boot off the hard drive where 
it's been installed, I get nothing.  Specifically, after the Dell boot screen I get 'hit Esc for .altboot', the periods 
that extend across the screen (........), and then just a black screen.  

There is nothing else on that drive except a partition that came with it (utilities I think), and I was able to 
successfully install Ubuntu 10.04 to the drive.  Does anybody know what's going on?  The only other possibly relevant 
thing I can think of is that the key I got may be to a slightly different version.  The original CD I burned disappeared
 after I gave it to our IT guy so I downloaded a new image, about 3mo later.  Thanks--

Best,
Matt
