To have the posibility to use the whole 200GB disk capacity I used option
-o"devb-eide, eide master=lba48" in boot image script file.
There are two partions on the disk created: 20GB for system and 180GB for
data.
Problem:
An attempt to reinstall QNX on the system partition from QNX CD results in
devb-eide crash.
Probably devb-eide is not able to survive partition over 130GB limit when
started without the params.

This is the result of reinstalation attempt:
Restarting driver and mounting filesystems…
DINIT: can’t open drive ‘/dev/hd0t79’ : No such file or directory
/qnxbase/safe-config/x86/bin.dinit -hq /dev/hd0t79: failed (12292 256)
Partition instalation aborted!
Please remove the install floppy and CD , then reboot your machine.

The driver isn’t crashing. io-blk isn’t enumerating the partitions because
they are larger than the capacity reported by the driver. I will change
the driver default of lba48 off for the next release. In the interm you
can either create a boot floppy with the lba48 option or keep the partition
below 137G.
Thanks.
