I have created bootable floppies using the Neutrino Windows NT
cross-development SDK & dinit, but when I try to create a bootable IDE hard
drive, it falls on its face (divide by zero error from dinit). I assume it
wasn’t meant to do that and that I need to create the boot hard drive on a
QNX RTP system.
Question 1: is the assumption, that I can’t create a bootable hard drive
on Windows and must use QNX RTP, true? or if I should be able to, what are
the differences from creating a bootable floppy?
Question 2: if I create the bootable hard drive on QNX RTP, can I copy
the .boot file onto it later from Windows somehow?
Every time I try different fdisk’s/dloader/dinit’s to create my own bootable
hard drive on QNX RTP, it ends quickly with a single letter (sometimes ‘C’,
‘D’, and ‘S’).
Question 3: what are the correct fdisk/dloader/dinit commands?
I know the drive and my .ifs file can boot since I can have the QNX RTP CD
install to it and then I can replace the .boot file with my .ifs & it works,
but I want to do it without using a CD install.
