Hello,
is installing and booting of QNXon an SCSI system without a boot floppy now
possible.
Thank You
I’ve done this at home with an old P60 running an Adaptec SCSI controller.
One thing I’ve noticed though is that the system appears to hang for a few
minutes
and then continues to boot from the SCSI drive (I low level formatted both
drives
and created a QNX only partition). I believe that QNX tries to find any IDE
devices and then looks for SCSI devices, which is why there is this lengthy
pause during the boot sequence. However, once up and running, QNX seems
quite happy with the SCSI drives. My experience was with QNX 6.0 Patch B.

I tried install QNXRTP on SCSI hard drive:
on 6.0 : it is possible to install QNXRTP to hard drive, but hard
drive cannot boot.
on 6.1.0 : installation aborted after:
Restarting driver and mounting filesystems
Unable to mount /dev/cd0 as /cd
Partition installation aborted !

You could: (fill in * with whatever boot image you are using)
double check all files and paths - I’m sending this from MSWindows
cd /boot/build
make a backup - cp qnxbase*.build qnxbase*.build.bak
make a backup - /.boot or “X:\Program Files\qnx\boot\fs\qnxbase*.ifs”
edit qnxbase*.build - comment out (#) devb-eide and the wrong SCSI adapters
turn on Num Lock in devc-con (read devc-con help ? -L N ?)
mkifs qnxbase*.build qnxbase*.ifs
cp qnxbase*.ifs /.boot or “X:\Program Files\qnx…”
