Hi,
I have the following problem: I want to make a bootimage for a PC/104 (Prometheus board from diamondsystems, x86 Processor) to be installed on an external flash (with two qnx partitions), so that the PC/104 can startup from the first partition.
So far I managed to make a bootimage using the QNX Momentics environment under WinXP (I think this uses the mikfs command). Then I connected the flash module to a standard PC (486) running QNX Neutrino and I used fdisk to partition the flash disk in two qnx-partitions and also made the first partition bootable. Next I used dinit (with -h and -f parameters) to transfer the bootimagefile to the first partition on the flash module.
When I have the flash disk connected to the standard PC it boots up nicely from the flash module, but when I connect it to the PC/104 prometheus, it won’t work at all. It gets stuck very early. When booting with the standard PC I get asked from which partition I want to boot (also: hit escape for .altboot …), but with the PC/104 I never get this far. The bootimage should be fine, as it works with the standard PC.
Anyone else who had this problem? I am new to QNX Neutrino, so it would help me to receive a detailed description in case someone knows how to solve my problem.
