Hi,

It seems QNX has trouble accessing your Parralell port, so if you are not
using it, try disabling it in your Bios, or else, try setting it to another
address using your bios. Or it might simply be the mode (ECP,EPP,Normal),
you could also try changing this setting (in the Bios that is)

I try to disable my parallel port …
I got another trouble : It now freeze after this :

file / .swapfile added as swap device
File / .swapfile successfully added as swap device
FREEZE**

thanks for your help !

Try this:

  1. Begin booting into QNXRTP.
  2. At the first opportunity, press [SPACE BAR] to get the boot options
    menu.
  3. Select option ‘B’ to disable PnP.
  4. Hit [RETURN/ENTER]

From this point on, you shouldn’t hang at “installing /dev/par port
378” again. (I don’t know why this works, just does).
