install fine/first boot fails and fails and...

I’ve installed from the iso fine but when I first run qnx it attempts to run
it but the series of dots ends with a capital letter ‘C’ and then freezes. No
activity from the hard drive. It just sits there.

I’m using a Tyan S1854, Celeron 566 and a Fujitsu ATA/66 hard drive.

Any ideas what is messing up on me? Thanks.

Thank you for the help Armin.

So what you’re telling me is that QNX won’t run at the beginning of my
second hard drive? I’m running W98, W2K, Mandrake Linux and BeOS on my
first drive already.

Is there any way to force QNX to run on my second drive?

A typical PC problem … your boot image is located at cylinder
1024 …

And that has to be on my first drive? I’m below 1024 on my second drive.

No AFAIK … you need at least a small partition for the boot image
in the
address range 1 … 1024
