I'm working on some documentation.  There are a few problems.  First I only
wrote down minimal stuff as I proceeded to take over the box.  Then I
have the problem of not being able to test my documentation as I don't
have QNX running anymore. :-)

Is there an easy fix/hack to make 'kue0' probe before asking for the
root filesystem?  e.g. can I defer the rootfilesystem query for 30 seconds
or something like that?  It is kinda painful having to NFS mount /bin,/etc,
/dev, /sbin, /usr, /var onto the md0 directories.

On the regular desktop I tested my image on, I could pick 'rl0' as the
root filesystem and then 'kue0' probed, 'rl0' failed, and I could pick
my USB Ethernet.  This doesn't work on the IOpener as there is only wd0,
md0, and halt.

How about adding a 'delay' or something that pauses, and "finishes up" the
deferred stuff?
