We use some computer systems equipped only with a floppy and hard drive. The
particular computer requires major disassembly to cable in a cd-rom drive.
We burn embeded images of QNX onto a 4M compact flash for another of our
products over a network connection. I created a boot floppy for the system
in question (node 1), fdisked, etc., the hard drive and established a
network connection to a machine with a cd rom (node 2). The floppy contains
2 QNX licneses. I can perform ls commands all over the host machine’s hard
drive but cannot access its CD via ls //2/cd . Thus, I cannot run
//2/cd/bin/phinstall which I presume I need to use to complete the QNX
installation. Does the node 1 computer need to be running Iso9660fsys? Is
there a better means to “ghost” an install short of perhaps doing something
like cp //2/images/image /dev/hd0.0?
Are you able to access the cd rom from node1? Do you have a /dev/cd0 entry?
If so then yes, you will need to run the Iso966fsys manager on node1 to
mount and see the files on the cd.
