I think I see what you’re seeing now. I’ve only used DiskOnChips less
than 16 MB, so I didn’t use the procedure you are using. They assume
you are using the standard QNX install program, which demands a floppy.
Also, the install program assumes that the installation files are part
of an install archive - which doesn’t exist on your hard disk.
So, I’d recommend installing it manually.
If you follow the steps in the M-Systems document for installing
the diskonchip manually, I am pretty sure it will work.
It looks to me like the only reason they included the special section
in the document for diskonchips larger than 16MB was because diskonchips
smaller than that do not have enough space on them to contain an entire
QNX installation.
I have not tried this, though, so you may have to adapt.
Good Luck!

Ken:
Here’s where I am.
I tried doing the install using the install -d -p “n:hd0” command.
When it starts the install, it says “The software package will be installed
from the drive: /dev/fd0”
The people who installed QNX on the drive had a custom-built install disk.
I am a little at a loss as to where to go next.
Thanks!

I guess don’t know what you mean.
When I installed their package to a DiskOnChip, I installed it
from a hard disk using their instructions, and IIRC, it just worked.
I have their Installation Manual IM-DOC-016 dated July of 2000.
What problem are you having? Perhaps I can help if you have a
specific question.

Well, I have the document however, the settings they list don’t specify
that
you want to install from the hard disk.
Any other ideas?
Again, Thanks!

M-Systems has what you need to install QNX to the DiskOnChip.
Go to > http://www.m-sys.com > - download the QNX4 support package.
It includes the instructions you need to install QNX4 onto a
DiskOnChip.

Hi!
I need to install QNX to a DiskOnChip however I don’t have the
install
files
on CD or Disk. I can run the install off the hard drive but was not
sure
what paramters i should use to force QNX to install off the hard
drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
