Can't boot from compact flash, getting .altboot??????? error

QNX DEVELOPERS Realtime and Embedded
1

I have a SBC with a hard drive and a 32Mo compact flash. Currently QNX Neutrino is installed on the hard drive. I want to get ride of the hard drive and boot directly to the flash.

I used qnxbase.ifs as image file (since I’m sure its an ok one) and copied it to the flash using

dinit -f qnxbase.ifs /dev/hd1t79

I rebooted in QNX using th harddrive and do

dinit -hb /dev/hd1t79

to make it bootable.

But when I try to boot from the flash I always get the same error :

.altboot.???

Do someone know and would tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thank,

Francis

Do all the DINITs at once.

dinit -hb -f qnxbase.ifs /dev/hd1t79
