IDE: Missing Operating System

Hi,

I have an IDE 30Gigs ATA100 (IBM) , when i boot to qnx4 or rtp (from scsi)
I can mount this drive and copy files on it, everything is fine.

But there is no way to make it boot.

I tried every boot loader or fdisk/dinit arguments but i always get:
“Missing Operating System”.

I fear it could be geometry.

Any idea ?

It is most likely geometry. Try to figure what geometry BIOS reports and
enforce it in driver command line before you write OS loader onto
drive.
