Just I tried to install QNX 4.25 on a PC wich hasn’t a floppy drive. So I tried it with a usb floppy but the booting process stopped like this:
Pess Esc for alternate OS .C
Can somedody tell me what the “C” is meenig and does thereany other error code exist ?
That won’t work. QNX4 doesn’t support booting from USB floppy.
The CD is bootable though.
Thanks, but do you know what the “C” is meening. Or isn’t there a special error code?
I think it means checksum error
Hey all,
A related question, does QNX 4.25 support USB CD-ROM boot?
My guess, no.
Yes and no, the install CD-ROM boot doesn’t but if you make your own CD-ROM or USB key yes it supports it.
Did anybody successfully boot QNX4 from USB key?
yep, I too am interested in booting QNX 4.25 from a USB thumb drive.
There seem to be a sprinkling of responses related to this, but I have yet to find detailed instructions.
If I get it first, I will post here.
Thanks

you should have 77 patrition on your flash with QNX.
you should also run
/boot/sys/Slib16 &
in sysinit file. Slib16 started in “.boot” before, but your “.boot” file will be too big with Slib16 and will not work.
I also think it will work on USB floppy if you mount appropriate device, but I didn’t try.
