Greater than 16 MB not being recognized fix. NOTE: THIS IS A
PRIVATE FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES. We are providing 2 files,
OS2LDR which is the NORMAL replacement file, and a SPECIAL
OS2LDRD file than can capture some data and you can provide us
with this data to assist us in correcting any problems that we
have not forseen. Feed the data back to an IBM BBS or 76711,175
on CompuServe please. We do feel that this is very close to final
though.
OS2LDR is the OS/2 kernel real mode initialization and loader. It
resides in the root directory of the boot drive, and typically has
the SHR (System, Hidden, Readonly) attributes set. These attributes
have to be cleared (attrib -r -h -s c:\os2ldr) before the file can
be replaced. Copy the new file over the old one (use the OS2LDR file)
and then reset the attributes (attrib +r +h +s c:\os2ldr) and do a
SHUTDOWN and REBOOT for it to take effect.
The DEBUG version is built at the same code level (OS/2 2.0 ship
level plus fixes), but the debug version has additional code to
dump ASCII text out of the COM port at system boot time (9600 baud
N-8-1). COM2 will be used if it can be found, otherwise COM1. This
debug ASCII text output should be captured by an ASCII terminal
emulator on the com port for analysis. The retail version is called
OS2LDR on this diskette. The debug version is called OS2LDRD, and
needs to be renamed to OS2LDR to be used. It is installed just like
the normal version, but you do the rename on the copy over the old
version.
