Installation |
| Issue |
We are trying to install QNX on our system. We have the product suite CD with licenses for QNX, Photon, PhAB and the Watcom compiler. When the hardware auto-detection finishes, we get the following error: "The Install requires a CD Rom to be defined before you can continue". How can we fix the problem?

| Solution |
This is a known problem. We have a floppy with new Fsys drivers on it. This floppy should fix the problem. To get the floppy, you must download it from QUICS. It is in called /updates/qnx42/Released/drvrdisk/drvrdisk.144.
For more information on how to access QUICS please see /etc/readme/technotes/quics. To copy this disk to a floppy, do the following:
x09cp drvrdisk.144 /dev/fd0
x09x09(where /dev/fd0 is the floppy device)
This disk is not a bootable image. You will have to follow the procedures defined in drvrdiskide.txt to install the new driver. Here are the contents of drvrdiskide.txt:
How to use a newer Fsys.eide driver
-----------------------------------
Run the installation in Diagnostic mode by pressing F12 at the welcome screen. Then select Next.
Unselect "EIDE Disk Controller" and press F2 to continue scanning for other devices.
Once the installer reports that "This install requires a CD Rom Drive to be defined before you can continue" select OK to close the dialog.
Press F5 to Add additional drivers from the diskette.
In the "Add New Hardware" dialog select "Disk Driver on Floppy" from the "Hardware Driver" pull down menu.
Press F5 to select the "From Floppy" button to continue. This will display the "Browse Floppy" dialog box.
Highlight the Fsys.eide driver and press ok to go back to the previous dialog. Press Ok to begin the hardware scan.
Once the scan has found your IDE Drives select Next and continue with the install. |
