Installs fine, but second boot fails

Hi, I just downloaded the latest version of QNX RTP from the official site,
and am running it with 600 megs allocated within some files on Windows 98.
I got the basics of it set up without any problem and played with it for a
while. I then booted into Windows for a little while and now am trying to
get back into QNX, but it is failing without any message at all.

I tried booting in safe mode, and set it to verbose as well, but several
attempts with various combinations have not gotten me any further. This is
where it stops:

Starting /bin/sh /etc/system/sysinit
BOOTSRC=disk
SAFEMODE=1
VERBOSE=1
ROOTDEV=/fs/hd0-dos/Program Files/qnx/boot/fs/root.qfs
NO_ETC=
(flashing cursor here)

Does anyone know what the problem is? Any help would be much appreciated.

I found my answer in ]{ristoph’s earlier post:
