I see that the qnx team seems to monitor this newsgroup; can someone
help with the
Demo disk error I describe below ?
If I view the qnxdemo.dat file I can see the exact text of the error
messages I am seeing
when trying to boot after creating the demodisk with makedisk …
I want to see this work for two reasons; I’m wondering if QNX RTP will
work on my system
if the Demo won’t even boot ! And also it would be very handy at times
to be able to connect
to the Internet with just a floppy ( ie. if during experimentation the
OS’s on the HDD become
unusable until you get to read some saving information on the 'net )
Should I call the 800 number and order a DemoDisk that was created by
QNX ?
my previous append :
Everyone,
Trying to use the DemoDisk I get the following error trying to boot:
OS start failed
sometimes I see
OS cksum failed
OS start failed
These messages are after the QNX bootloader loads to - 100% -
This is seen with 5 different diskettes build from windows & linux on
my machine;
from windows on a machine at work… ( both modem and network versions )
( all the diskettes work fine on the work machine !! ?? )
My home machine is a standard Intel Triton Pentium ( Quantex )
configured as such:
CPU = Pentium 100
Memory = 64 Mb
Modem = 3-Com 56k Sportster
Mouse = serial
Video = ATI Mach-64
2 HDD on primary IDE
4x CD-ROM
I have looked extensively through the FAQs and the QNX web site,
no hits on the ‘start failed’ nor the ‘cksum’ problems
Has anyone else seen this? …Anyone have a clue as to what’s wrong?
