Installation
An automated install program is used to install QNX onto the
hard disk.
STEP A
Booting from the Floppy Boot Disk
Insert the Boot disk into the first drive (/fd/0) (A:)
If you are upgrading, exit OIS12.
Boot from the computer. Press
<Ctrl Alt Shift Del>
.
As QNX is loading you will see a spinning arrow.
Booting from the floppy is slow.

automatic QNX installation program.
CAUTION
If you are upgrading an OIS12 system, you must back up your
configuration and data before you begin. If you have stored any
other files, you should also back them up. The OIS12 will only
back up its own files.
QNX must be installed on each computer on the network that
has its own hard disk.
