OS2BOT.TXT
The following is a floppy disk setup for OS/2 2.x that allow one to have
enough space on the A: drive to put an \OAD subdirectory and the files
needed for having Bernoulli drives available when booting from floppy.
It does require a 3.5" 1.44MB floppy for A: and another high density
floppy for B:. The particular setup below is for two IDE hard disks
with an HPFS C: drive.
The files listed are those for the Dec 92 2.1 Beta, but similar
layouts worked for me for both GA and GA+SP as far as allowing HPFS when
the A: drive was a 1.2M. Now that my A: is 1.44MB, I have enough room
for the \OAD directory on A:. Files marked with a * are just utilities
that I decided I needed when booting from floppy. What you use is
your own choice. The ?.DEV, ?.OPT, and ?.ADP files in the \OAD directory
should be those that are needed for the particular drives you are using.
The CONFIG.OAD file should come from the hard disk and be the one generated
by GENOAD. Also the OAD version is 2.02, but this did work with the
2.00.01 version I had until I downloaded 2.02.
Most of the credit for this goes to Ken Kahn, 71075,2432, of IBM, the
author of SE20BOOT, (available under the name of BOOT20.ZIP) which I use to
make the disk first, then rearrange the files. Credit also goes to Morton
Kaplon, 73457,437, and Bryan Walker, 70304,2705, for boot disk layouts
and instructions that they put in the OS/2 forums. I just played around
with the file layouts.
I have yet to have any problems with this, except needing a little more
space to add more files on the floppies. But that would happen if I had two
2.88MB floppies. :-)
These are the steps I follow to create the disks:
0. Go to OS/2 Full Screen.
1. Place the SE20BOOT unzipped files in a seperate subdirectory on the hard
disk drive where OS/2 is located. For me C:\SE20
2. Make DISK_0 and DISK_1 subdirectories below this.
3. Copy the files required from the installation floppies to these sub-
directories. SYSINSTX.COM from disk 0 to \SE20\DISK_0\ and
KEYBOARD.DCP and VTBL850.DCP from disk 1 to \SE20\DISK_1\.
4. Invoke SE20BOOT with a formatted 1.44MB floppy in A: with the
following command: SE20BOOT SOURCE=C:\SE20\ TARGET=A
5. This will create a boot floppy that is customized for that system,
including types of drive, HPFS or FAT, etc.
6. Move some of the files over to a High density floppy in B: according
to the list below, to free space on the A: drive. SE20BOOT does
create \OS2 and \OS2\DLL subdirectories on the boot floopy, which is
where some of the files are located.
7. Move the rest of the files on A: to the root directory. This is more
for convenience in config.sys and seeing what files are on the disk
than a hard rule. Just make sure PATH, LIBPATH, DPATH, and any device
statements point to the right locations.
8. Edit the config.sys on A: to match the new file locations (and below).
<<EXCEPT do not match entries below for HPFS if using FAT or entries
for disk drivers if using non-IDE drives, use the entries SE20BOOT
made.>>
9. Make the \OAD subdirectory on A:
10. Copy over the files needed for the interface used and drives connected
into A:\OAD from \OAD on the Hard disk, as well as other files listed.
Below is for a PC2B board and 20MB, 44MB, and 90MB 5.25" drives.
(Yes, all three at once. :-) )
11. Add the device=a:\oad\os2.sys line to a:config.sys.
12. Copy over any other utilities wanted to both floppies till full.
I would recommend chkdsk and IBM's Tiny Editor: T2; and fdisk if using
the Boot Manager at least. But the choice is your's.
13. Return to the WPS, shutdown, and try them out.
And of course, since I'm putting this up here, any questions about it should
be directed to me. Compuserve: 70702,1576 or
Internet mail: ncmoore2@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu
I have done backups using OS/2's backup and then restores and compares with
no problem encountered yet. I would have preferred to do more testing, but
felt that others might find this too useful for me to keep it to myself.
