Booting Problem

Hi all,

I have tried to install QNX RTP on my home PC, but it did not work
So, to locate the problem, I cut down the build file to its essentials, and
it now looks like this:

[virtual=x86,bios +compress] .bootstrap = {
startup-bios
PATH=/proc/boot procnto
}
[+script] .script = {
display_msg I am ready now.
}
[data=copy]

I put the image on a boot disk with dinit.

Booting from disk, I expect is to get the message “I am ready now”, but
instead the system reboots after printing the dots,
just as it did with the orginal installation.

I have tried different BIOS setups without any result.

But on all other computers (at work or from friends) it worked.

Well I think this short script just uses the some BIOS functions, so what’s
wrong with my BIOS ?

The BIOS is:

AMIBIOS 1992 Bios-Version 1.00.09.AF2

the board:

Premiere/PCI Baby-AT Motherboard form INTEL (with INTEL Pentium CPU)


thanks for any ideas

Try the startup-bios and procnto lines I’ve given below. Unfortunately,
all that’ll tell you is whether startup-bios or procnto ran (unless
you can understand what it will tell you).
