I have QNX 6 installed on the first drive in a computer and QNX 4 installed
on the second drive. When I try to boot from the second drive using the
bootloader and pressing F2, the QNX 4 boot hangs. Now if I switch the BIOS
to boot from D first, it boots fine. Has anyone successfully got the
booting to 2 different drives working? If so, how? Checking the QDN it
states that the safest way to do this is to just change the BIOS. If it
isn’t possible using the bootloader, why even include the option in the
bootloader and get my hopes up?

Did you change the QNX boot image to mount from the second HD?

Not sure what you mean? I changed the boot image because it was accessing
/dev/hd0 instead of /dev/hd1 but that didnt seem to have an affect. Is
there something else I need to change other than the /dev/hd0 reference in
my build file?
When I switch the BIOS to boot from D, the QNX 4 partition works fine but
the QNX 6 partition then wont boot.

Yeah that’s what I meant

The QNX4 loader expect the OS to be on the first HD I beleive. Thus
when you use the BIOS switch it probably makes the loader beleive
D is the first HD, not sure.
One solution to this is to create a very small partition (1Meg is plenty)
on the first HD that actually contains the QNX4 .boot file. Then the .boot
file
load and mount /dev/hd1. The .boot file you created should already have
that.
