shell.bld



[virtual=x86,bios] .bootstrap = {
startup-bios
PATH=/proc/boot procnto
}

[+script] .script = {
devc-con -n9 &
reopen /dev/con1
seedres
[+session] fesh
}
libc.so.1
[data=copy]
devc-con
seedres
fesh
[type=link] /usr/lib/ldqnx.so.1=/proc/boot/libc.so.1

I don’t see +compress option in the ‘virtual’ statement. That should
mean your image might be fairly large and if it exceeds 632Kb you’re
very likely to see exactly that effect.

The following script worked for me…

[virtual=x86,bios] boot = {
startup-bios
PATH=/proc/boot procnto
}

[+script] startup-script = {
devc-con -n9 &
reopen /dev/con1
[+session] fesh
}
[type=link] /usr/lib/ldqnx.so.1=/proc/boot/libc.so.1
libc.so.1
[data=copy]
devc-con
fesh

It does not have to be ‘startup-script’ by the way. Any name is good as
long as there is +script attribute.
