installing to a 10Gig secondary hd problem

I’m having problem installing the QnxRtP to my new 10 gig primary slave
hd (in its own partition). I got the msg below:


Executing dinit -hq8 /dev/hd1t79
DINIT: Can’t open drive ‘/dev/hd1t79’: Bad file descriptor
dinit -hq8 /dev/hd1t79 : failed (4104 256)

Partition installation aborted!

I believe it has something to do with my hd being 10Gig.
Pls assist. Thanks.

It has nothing to do with your hd size, make sure you have
LBA option enabled for your hd in your BIOS. Also go to :

Thanks for replying.

You were right, it had nothing to do with the hd size. It had to do with my
using the 10gig as a second hd. I had, from the BIOS, disabled my primary
master hd but Neutrino is too clever that it still detected my primary master
hd. (I guess that was why the errmsg said “cant open /dev/hd1t79” ). I then
had to physically disconnect my primary, then Qnx RtP happily installed in
the primary slave ( ie /hd0t79 ). Later I changed my 10gig to be the primary
master … and no problem.

I have the same problem on my HP xe3 laptop, though the bios
interface is so stupid I can’t tell or set just about anything
except the clock, and the URL didn’t prove any solutions, the
QNX knowledge base thing didn’t score any hits either.

NetBSD-current runs on the box just fine as it is, though
fdisk on netbsd produces the following values for the disk;

NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 1023 heads: 255 sectors/track:63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)

Does this mean LBA addressing is not used in BIOS, and thus
causes my agony?
