Just tried the QNX rts after trying the floppy demo =:-). Install went okay,
but I’m having problems booting the system.
Proc: AMD K6 500Mhz, 64MB RAM, 10GB Maxtor HD w/EZ-BIOS, 48x CDROM,
installed on c:\ which has Win95 running successfully. Used Win95 install
package (the 23MB one).
Response after selecting QNX (with or without DMA):
(start…)
Detected EIDE. Scanning for devices
/. diskroot file for root not found on any filesystem
starting with safe mode
[4102] fs-pkg built: Sep 7 2000 16:00:23
Warning [/pkgs/base/safe-config/etc/system/package/packages] deosn’t seem to
exist
Can’t access package config file
Unable to access packages
(…end)
Any suggestions? I was thinkg that perhaps the download was corrupted, or
that problems existed with the EZ-BIOS overlay. If the overlay, any
suggestions short of reinstalling?
NB - I have also had similar problems installing BeOS and Oberon - BeOS had
problems finding files, and Oberon said I had a problem with my partitions,
though I tried a program called partinfo which didn’t show any problems.

I suspect “EZ-BIOS” IS the problem.
I have the same problems and another person I’ve spoken (typed) to
has it and the same problems too.
I don’t know too much about how EZ-BIOS works, (or much else
but my “guess” is it runs at a low level in DOS or something, when
you try to run other operating systems it gets “kicked out” and your
partitions don’t look “normal” anymore.
It looks like you have a “modern” system, why are you running
EZ-BIOS? It’s just for older systems that can’t handle larger
hard drives. I have it just because I moved a hard drive over
from my old machine and was too lazy to reformat, etc.
I’m going to get another hard drive and format it “regular”
then copy all my stuff over to it, then reformat the EZ-BIOS
drive and use it for storage. (there goes MY weekend)

Bye,

I was running EZ-BIOS because I had the HD in an older computer running
win3.11 and didn’t bother removing it just in case it gave me problems, but
I disabled and then uninstalled the EZ-BIOS and now QNX loads fine! Thanks
for the help, and best of luck with your new HD - I hope it works 'cos QNX
looks interesting!
I also got BeOS to work as well, so I have 2 OS’s to explore this week (what
fun…)
