Multiple Partitions

Hello all,
I am having a problem, I have two hard drives in my QNX6 machine, each
have a t79 partition on them. At boot up I keep getting asked the
question of which to boot, I can understand how this could be helpful,
but I find it ridiculous that it keeps asking me the question everytime
I boot. I need the machine to boot on it’s own without any human
interference. How can I stop it from asking this question?

Delete the “/.diskroot” file from the partition which you
WON’T use as the root partition.

(Or am I miscomprehending something?)

Ok, that fixed half the problem, but now it’s still asking me which
qnxbase.qfs file I want to mount, and it won’t let me remove that file.
Any ideas how to fix that?

for qnxbase.qfs file you WON’T use; do
chmod +w
mount it read-write
delete /.diskroot

Or just delete the qnxbase.qfs entirely which you won’t use.

Are you sure what the qnxbase.qfs file is for?

I honestly have no idea what it’s for, nor do I really care, as it
doesn’t seem to be necessary on each drive because it only asks me to
mount one. But then for some reason it just won’t let me remove the one
that isn’t mounted.
