I would put the new hard drive on the working QNX2 system and build
the new drive from the existing drive. Then put that drive into the
other system and do a tape restore.
It’s been so long since I’ve worked with QNX2 I can’t tell you the
exact steps to do the copy. I’m sure if you need help with that
someone else can help
Remember to deal with things like master/slave jumpers on the drive.

Thanks for your kindly remind. Yes, I need help about these side.QNX2 is an
old OS, and I have not any document about it.
QNX is good OS, I believe it.

Somewhere in the old QUICS system there was a boot.2.21 file that was an
image of the QNX2 boot disk. I think I have it somewhere. You can copy that
file to a diskette (not using DOS or Windows, perhaps a “cp boot.2.21
/dev/fd0” under QNX4) and that should do it.
