In the old days of QNX4 I could do a prefix /=//hd to get myself off of a
floppy after I mounted the harddrive to get the drive as the new root /. I
have tried all forms of mount -u //dev/hd0t79 / …etc to no avail.
?? How would you boot from floppy, startup devb-eide, mount /dev/hd0t79 /hd
and somehow make /hd my new root?
Thanks

You can’t 
Even if you can, that won’t do you any good (ever
ls -l /hd after mount it?
The “prefered way” is (after you have access of /hd):
/hd/pkgs/base/safe-config/x86/sbin/fs-pkg
or:
/hd/pkgs/repository/qnx/os/core-/x86/sbin/fs-pkg
Of cause you must be root to do that.
