After I updated with the latest QNX+ (…), the boot process only gives

it seems that devc-con is starting in its default state (with four
consoles) and ignoring my request for six with -n6 above (-odevc-con,-n6).
Any ideas on what I am not doing well? How do I force the OS to start 6
consoles instead of default four (4)? Thanks.
If you’ve installed 6.3.0 SP3 or the SP2 to SP3 Upgrade, the system starts
devc-con-hid instead of devc-con. The options are similar, but devc-con-hid
also supports USB.
The release notes should probably point out this change (right now they
simply mention the lack of documentation for devc-con-hid). I’ll fix up
the notes.

Thanks. This is indeed what I wanted. Too bad it took me so long to
check back here for an answer.
Question: what does devc-con -n do now? Is it obsolete? If it is
not, then what does it do that devc-con-hid cannot do? If it is
obsolete, why is still included in the command line? May be I should
look in the documentation somewhere? Thanks.
Yes, you are correct. That is what I needed. I wonder what do you mean
when you say that ‘devc-con-hid also supports USB’ ?
Does devc-con-hid supersede devc-con? If not, when do we use one over
the other? I suppose that I could search in the docs somewhere? Thanks.
Regards…
Miguel.
