Hi Linus,
this patch (forward ported from 2.4.19) replaces the check for the QNX
boot-sector signature by a check for another signature in the superblock
(the (invariant) name of the root dir) - this allows us to mount
partitions created with QNX 6.1 (that don't have the boot-sector
signature we used to check for), without breaking existing
functionality.
The corresponding updates to fs/Config.help have already found their way
into your tree...
Please apply.

Cheers
  Anders (maintainer)
