I have worked with QNX 6.1 version for some time, installed into Win98
operating system. It worked fine but there was a display driver problem that
is known to be fixed in the new QNX 6.2 version. So I now de-installed QNX
6.1 and installed the 6.2 version from the ISO-image. Installation worked
fine, but QNX now doesn’t boot anymore.
While trying to boot, the screen shows:
…
Detected EIDE. Scanning for devices.
/.diskroot file for root not found on any filesystem
Unable to locate fs-pkg
after this the boot process hangs.
I tried every available harddrive (C, D, E, F) for installation, with
different memory amounts for the file system (between 1000MB and 2000MB).
Neither the harddrive boots nor the BootDisc. It is always stoping at that
point described above.
There was already a similar news-message posted on 12.9.2002, but there
seemed to be no answer to that problem at that time. What can I do? Can
anybody help me?

I suppose you’re trying to install QNX into a file on FAT partition, not to
separate QNX partition? You said “Installation worked fine”, so should not
be problem But I’d suggest you to boot QNX from CD, then find that .qfs
file on your disk (sorry, I have no clue where you installed it, “C,D,E,F”),
mount it and finally look if there is /.diskroot file. If for some reason
there is no .diskroot file in your image file, creat it.
