Was there any “official” document that says
Press Esc for .altboot…D
Int13 error; non-8GB capable BIOS
http://www.qnx.com/support/sd_bok/solution.qnx?10357
or flaky HDD
Press Esc for .altboot…S
/.boot was read, but it doesn’t look like a valid image
(lacks STARTUP_HDR_SIGNATURE)
Press Esc for .altboot…(about 6 lines then halt)
The bootloader is reading something not a qnx4 filesystem.
(partition not formatted as qnx4? screwed partition table?
wrong BIOS drive?)

From MY memory, it’s a check error (I though I’d rephrase that)

another question:
Hit ESC for .altboot …

Answer is on top of this thread. Loader reads through all partition, sector by sector from start
sector to end sector, but can’t find anything looking like .boot. Quantity of dots depends on your
partition size (or info about its size in boot sector).
BTW, there was “Press ESC for alternate OS.” message in your first question. That message is from
QNX 6.0 loader and QNX 6.0 loader is not able to load QNX 6.1+ OS image. QNX 6.1+ loader has only
two diagnostic messages, AFAIK: D - Disk (INT13) I/O error, and S - (image) Signature not found.

Seen this if part of .boot file is located beyond cylinder 1024 (that only
applies to QNX4 loader)
