Title Can QNX OS's be booted using the Grub Linux bootloader?
Ref. No. QNX.000010037
Category(ies) Installation
Issue Booting QNX 4 with Grub as delivered with Mandrake and/or RedHat
Solution Choose option 2 when installing. Do not let QNX install the bootloader on the MBR but on the local partition.

In Grub add the following entries on the menu
Assume QNX is on partition 2 of disk 1

root (hd0,1)

Note: 0 is the number of EIDE disk #1, Partitions start at 0 as well, thus the second partition is 1 and the third is 2

Chainloader +1

Note: This informs grub, that this partition has it's own loader, so it doesn't  need a kernel

Boot

This will start the bootable information on the bootstrap of the second partition.
