QNX

https://forums.openqnx.com/t/topic/5043/4 If you only have one QNX partition, which is mounted as /, you can just touch /.longfilenames chmod 444 /.longfilenames chown root:root /.longfilenames

You will need to umount and mount the partition again before it can take effect. It usually means a reboot, especially if you are working on the root partition.

Create a VirtualBox guest machine with the above shown characteristics Grab the OS distribution here: https://winworldpc.com/download/41c2b04d-2d18-c39a-11c3-a4e284a2c3a5 and extract files from 7-zip archive. There is a file serial.txt with serial number/code – Sn: SOT552746, Ak: kqpzdsso which is for SCO Open Desktop Release 3.0 Distribution missed N1 boot disk. Grab it from SCO FTP server: ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/SLS/uod383bon1.Z, don’t mix it with the other boot disk which is for SCO UNIX OS: uod383bun1.Z. Uncompress the boot disk image and rename it just to look nicer: $ uncompress uod383bon1.Z $ mv uod383bon1 uod383bon1.img Insert the uod383bon1.img into the virtual floppy drive and pedantically follow the installation instructions, by inserting and sometimes re-inserting all the 40+ diskettes into the virtual floppy drive. Download, uncompress and install all the necessary Advanced Hardware Supplement (AHS) for the new drivers: ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/AHS/3.0/sco/3.4/135/ Download, uncompress and install all the necessary Support Level Supplements (SLS) to update OS and drivers: ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/SLS/ To enable network in our minimal configuration install ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/AHS/3.0/sco/3.4/135/lli.Z and ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/SLS/net387a.Z to configure AMD Pcnet-PCI LAN driver
