why can't boot

I have made a boot image boot.ifs ,it can boot from floppy .but i copy it to
the harddisk like this: cp boot.ifs /hdc/.boot(/hdc is the bootable partition of harddisk ),during booting after some …,it displays ‘S’,what’s wrong ?
the floppy bootable image can’t be used to harddisk? Should the partition be type 79 (not the type 77)?I use VMWARE to run above

anyboady can help me?

No a floppy image cannot be use on a harddisk.

perhaps this article can help you:
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.0/neutrino/technotes/qnx6bootloader.html

at least it explains that
If S appears at the end of the dotted line, no OS signature is found.

How should I do?I have a floppy bootable image
