Title QNX 4.25 CD install won't detect CD-ROM drive
Ref. No. QNX.000009371
Category(ies) Installation
Issue During the install of the QNX4.25 All Products CD, it won't detect our CD-ROM drive during the hardware detection phase.

Our CD-ROM drive is on the secondary channel as a slave device.
Solution Move the CD-ROM drive to the primary controller channel as slave, and make sure in the BIOS that it is defined as a CD-ROM drive and not simply autodetect.  Also double check that the other device on its controller channel is set to master if the CD-ROM is set to slave.

Any of these problems can cause CD-ROM detection errors.
