Hi,
I’m trying to install QNX 6.2, but it claims that there is no room for a QNX
partition.
System is 800MHz Intel, 512MB RAM, 80GB IDE HDD.
If I display the partion table I get:
Partition Type OS Size
F1 12 dos 20002M
F2 12 dos 18002M
F3 5 ext 30004M
F4 131 linux 8307M
F5 Skip partition deletion
I’d rather not delete a partion, but simply install QNX into it. Ideally I
would like to install into /dev/hda9, which exists in my extended linux
partition. I also have some space in my extended partition, but the QNX
installer doesn’t see this. Does QNX have to exist in a primary partition??
Would willing to try /dev/hda2 if my partition table doesn’t get screwed up
(I have a total of 17 partitions). See fdisk output:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 2550 20482843+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2 2551 4845 18434587+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3 4846 8670 30724312+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda4 8671 9729 8506417+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 * 4846 4858 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 4859 5495 5116671 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 5496 6132 5116671 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 6133 6769 5116671 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 6770 6896 1020096 e Win95 FAT16 (LBA)
/dev/hda10 6897 7393 3992121 83 Linux
… … … …
===============
Also, after I am told ‘No room for a QNX partition’ in the menu I am given
F1- …, F2- …, F3 - install as a file into another os (Windows/Linux).
Which refers me to documentation that I cannot find. But it sounds like
this may be less risky/easier.
How would I go about this?
The ISO image I downloaded has only windows executable files, and setup.exe
hung when run under Wine.
Is there a place where I could download an image that I could simply dd to
/dev/hda9? I would then try to boot via the Grub loader.

Yes, QNX installer require primary partition; and QNX fdisk can’t creat QNX partition in extended
region.

If you have Windows (not Wine), you could install QNX into a file on FAT partition. It will add
loadqnx.sys into your windows configuration files to boot QNX.
Is there a place where I could download an image that I could simply dd to
/dev/hda9? I would then try to boot via the Grub loader.
There is no such place. You could creat QNX type of partition (type 77, 78 or 79; 0x4f recomended
for QNX6 native), boot QNX from CD, ‘dinit’ this partition and copy all required files from CD.
After that use Grub to load QNX. It’s not supported way, but you can try You could look at some
details in Japanese (if you don’t speak Japanese you can catch some ideas at least) http://www.dais.is.tohoku.ac.jp/~kabe/vsd/qnx/QNXext.html
There is also discussion about it in russian QNX forum (if you speak Russian make search in archive
at russian forum, if you don’t I’m afraid you won’t get more details).
