QNX 6.3.0 does not run when used in VMware (4.5.2) environment. Basically QNX does not boot - it complains “unable to open /dev/par1” and the boot process fails - I saw few postings that complained about this error.
Well I could it get to work after some tinkering - please note these changes have nothing to do with the article found on this website - the article talks about older VMWare and older QNX.
During the QNX boot process do the following
Press space bar
Select F11 - “enumerator disabled”
Select F1 - “Legacy ISA Devices” (not the same words -somethign similar)
(set Verbose F6 - if you want that is very helpful)
That is all I did - it works so far - I can open Momentics …
As mentioned in openqnx.com/Article349.html , there is a known issue with floppy emulation in vmware. Not sure if this is your problem, but can you try to disable the floppy emulation in your vmware config?
