You just need to download the self hosted ISO and you can boot from it
and install on your target.

Chris,

Thanks for your help. When I try to download an eval for the "QNX Momentics
x86 host version", after agreeing to the EULA I get sent back to the page
asking for me to type in my email address again. (endless loop). What do I
do now?

I am stuck!

I just installed the 6.3 evaluation ISO. (windows XP host) The
development
environment seems to work ok. However, It's not clear how to create a
bootable X86 target CD-rom.... Or, for that matter, how to install the
target in any manner.

I was able to boot off of an old NC cdrom ISO (qnxnc621.iso).

I feel like I am missing something obvious.

Sam

The email exchange below was on August 4, 2004.
It suggests one can boot off the self-hosted CDrom.

I cannot.

I downloaded 6.3.0-qnx6-200405141702.iso and burned a CD with windows
cdburn.exe. When I boot from that CD on my Toshiba Satellite laptop, no
image is found and the boot reverts to the disk boot.

Question: Is there really a bootable image on
6.3.0-qnx6-200405141702.iso? If so, how can I boot it?

I have burned a 6.3 CD from the downloaded image and YES it is bootable.

When you look at the CD do you see a single file 'whatever.iso'? If
so, then you burned the CD incorrectly.

The ISO image contains a complete multi-level file system. When the CD
is mounted you should see that file system.

Folks, I'm seeing the same problem here and I don't see a specific solution.

I burned 3 CDs using different applications
I can see the file structure and autorun works when i insert the cd in my
drive
I can boot using any other bootable cd - means I have no hardware issue
I even tried to mount the iso on a virtual PC without burning it

All these trials faild

the ISO I'm burning is: 6[1].3.0-win32-200405141126.iso

Any Ideas??
