You don't.
I downloaded QNX RtP ISO image on an Amiga and burned a CD with
MasterISO. Then I put a new hard drive into the PC (using a disk caddy),
put the CD in the PC's drive, and it installed fine.
However, it hasn't picked up the low grade sound card in the PC, so
there is a bit of fiddling to do. Also I have to set it up to access the
Internet via the Amiga (using Miami as a gateway).
QNX works and it's impressive. The big question now is, will any of the
major companies port their software to it?
Also, it would be nice to be able to run AmigaDE on top of QNX some time
"soon".
QNX themselves regard this as a beta release, but it is definitely
usable.
