On a regular x86 PC my floppy bootdisk starts up and boot, but…
…when I try to boot the same disk on my single board computer it
resets the board
when showing “Press ESC for alternate OS
…”
What could be the various reasons for this?? Is it again the image size
limit (the current
compressed size is around 300k)?? Or is it something else…
The build file I used is shown below, and the SBC i used is a PCM-SX
board from WinSystems.
[search=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib:/lib/dll:/boot/sys]
[virtual=x86,bios +compress] boot = {
startup-bios -vvvv
PATH=/proc/boot:/bin:/usr/bin procnto -h -vvv
}
[+script] .script = {
devc-ser8250 -e -b9600 &
reopen
display_msg This is a litle boot test for QNX.6
[+session] PATH=/proc/boot esh &
rtc hw &
}
[type=link] /dev/console=/dev/ser2
libc.so
[type=link] /usr/lib/ldqnx.so.1=/proc/boot/libc.so
fs-dos.so
[data=copy]
devc-ser8250
esh
echo
ls
cat
cp
rtc

How much ram on this system?

4 Megabytes that is…
It seems like the system reboots before even startup-bios starts running.

Ohh, yeah. Here is a link to the datasheet for the board:
