For my backups I bought recently a Fujitsu DynaMO 2511 magneto-optical
drive. I use a notebook computer with a Trantor T348 MiniSCSI Plus and
an external CD-ROM. The magneto optical drive is connected through the
MiniSCSI and is designated drive "E". Driv
In a situation where I cannot boot OS/2 I would have no way of accessing
drive "E" for a restore. I have come up with the following procedure to
create a set of boot-disks that will allow me to restore after a boot
from floppy diskettes.
1. Use a 1.44MB floppy to create a DISKCOPY from IBM Diskette 1.
2. This diskette does not have enough free space for the required drivers.
Delete files PRINT01.SYS and PRINT02.SYS to increase space.
CAUTION:
Do not delete these files on the original IBM diskette 1.
3. Create the directory EMERG on your harddisk. This directory will hold
copies of SCSI related files that cannot be copied onto the floppy disk.
4. Use XCOPY to copy the following files from the OS/2 directory and
BakupWiz directory into the EMERG directory:
T348SCSI.ADD
CDFS.IFS
OPTICAL.SYS
OS2CDROM.DMD
OS2SCSI.DMD
BWOS2ADD.SYS
Note:
Not all of these files are required for an emergency boot. For a
possible later re-installation or in case any of these files should
get corrupted I have copied these files onto a formatted floppy.
5. The CONFIG.SYS will typically contain a statement like this:
BASEDEV=T348SCSI.ADD
IFS=\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OPTICAL.SYS /N:4 /U /Q
DEVICE=C:\BWS5\BWOS2ADD.SYS
Add the following statements to the CONFIG.SYS file on the FLOPPY DISK
created in step 1:
BASEDEV=T348SCSI.ADD
IFS=c:\emerg\CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
DEVICE=c:\emerg\OPTICAL.SYS /N:4 /U /Q
Make sure to replace the directory reference "\OS2\" on the harddisk
config.sys with "c:\emerg\" on the floppy config.sys.
6. I have labelled this diskette "JUMPSTART - DISKETTE 1"
When booting from the INSTALLATION DISK and this diskette, the CD-ROM
drive will not be recognized and loaded. Consequently, during emergency
boot-up the magneto-optical drive will now be drive "D" instead of drive
"E".
Therefore, as a reminder, I have added the following note to the label
of the floppy:
Note for restore.
Magneto-optical drive is now drive "D".
7. You can now boot your system with the IBM INSTALLATION DISK and the newly
created JUMPSTART - DISKETTE 1. After boot-up change into the
harddrive and the BakupWiz directory. Load BakupWiz select CONFIG and
CONFIGURATION: EDIT TAPE IMAGE FILE PATH to point to the magneto-optical
drive, in this example "D". As you will hopefully use this procedure
only once, it is not neccessary to save this setting when prompted.
During boot-up you will see the message "Message file OSO001.MSG cannot
be found". Ignore this message, no action is required.
Start your restore.
