I have a compaq machine on which I would like to run QNX rtp - I can’t do
much of anything right now, though, because while this machine has 128 mb
RAM, there is a memory hole at 16mb and that’s where QNX stops detecting.
The QNX readme file gives two possible solutions to this problem - turning
off the hole (not available in my bios) or adding some entries to the
config.sys to force detection. However, this machine has QNX installed in a
Windows 2000 FAT partition, so I boot it with a floppy and the config.sys
entries are irrelevant. Does anyone know of any other way to get this memory
detected? If I were to install QNX on its own partition, is there something
I could do?
thanks,

You could actually make the boot floppy a DOS floppy and use the
loadqnx.sys to load the .ifs files from the floppy in the same
way it loads them off the harddrive. Then you could pass in the
configuration data to override the memory hole.
Also, if you look at the command lines to startup-bios in the help
(also on qdn.qnx.com) you should be able to pass in the memory
size on it’s command line and rebuild a boot image.
