how to change the default boot os in the boot loader

hi,

I installed QNX 6.2 on a public PC in office. Every time it boots, it prompt
to select the os (win2k or QNX). The time for selection is 4’s. It’s
convenient for me but not for other guys, cauze they don’t use QNX :frowning:

Can anybody tell me how to change the default setting in the boot loader so
that it can boot into win2k by default?

Hi,

You could use fdisk /dev/hd0. Select the win2k partition and the boot
option.
You must be logged as root.

Regards,

Leonel.

I get the feeling that what you were talking about is that when the
systems boots, it starts to boot into Windows and then puts up a menu
where you can choose to boot into QNX?

If so, you’ll have to look in config.sys (I think). There is a menu
with menu items, default selection and timeouts. Feel free to change
any one of these. You might want to make a back-up of this file
first. but this is one of the easier changes to make.

You’ll see.
Good luck.

No. I installed Win2k and QNX onto seperate partitions. The QNX bootloader
is installed on the MBR. So I think Leonel is right. I’ll test it right now.
