Does patch A include working dinit?

Ie: the one that knows how to work with flash & pcmcia drives are hard
drives and not put the floppy boot loader on them…

Hi Marisa,

Unfortunatly dinit didn’t make it into QNX 6.0 (patch a). However it should
get into the next release.

In the meantime you can use a QNX boot floppy with the dinit util located here:

staff.qnx.com/~emuis/

Download “Bootable QNX diskette for use of dinit’ing a CF for QNX RTP”

and “Makedisk util for creating boot diskettes in Windows”

and make sure that you have a DOS formatted floppy when you run the makedisk
util.

Boot with the floppy and then run Pcmcia.generic
once you have that running type “pin”
Use the IRQ and base address and pass them to Fsys.eide

e.g. Fsys.eide -i[IRQ] -a[HEX Address]

There should be an entry in the /dev directory that you can run fdisk on.

Setup your partitions, then mount them with

mount -p /dev/[device]

then dinit -h /dev/[device]t77 or what ever disk type you used.

Then you can get back into the RTP and copy over the required files.
