SCSI CD Installation

Hey all,

I would like to install from a SCSI CD-ROM. I keep getting the “can’t find
mountable…” error message. Is there a way to pass boot parameter so I can
use the SCSI CD-ROM to install?

Help!

Current installer requires (well, assumes) both installation CD and target
HD are on the same controller. So you can’t install from SCSI CD to EIDE HD,
if that’s what you wanna do :wink:

Also make sure your SCSI is supported - the fact QNX boots from it does not
mean anything - it is done by BIOS.

It is supported. I can get to it from the Windows Partition installed QNX
no problems…

Well, that bites about the IDE controller requirement. There should be some
way to add options/drivers to the install kernel…

Thanks Igor.

Where did you get this information from?

I’ve been spending too many hours finding out what is the problem.
