New Hard Disk installation using floppy boot (NEWBIE Questio

Hello All,
I have a couple of questions:
*First, is there any way to search qnx hosted news groups (ala. google
groups)?
*Second, I have managed to create a bootable QNX floppy that starts up an
x86 board and loads a few useful utilities. This x86 board also has an IDE,
Single-Partitioned, DOS Formatted hard disk. I’m trying to install a lite
version of QNX (created using System Builder) on the HD. My question is: How
do I make the hard disk boot to QNX. I have tried using different variations
of “dloader” and “dinit” but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Use fdisk to remove DOS partition and to creat QNX partition instead.
