This file contains information needed to prepare an OS/2 1.30.1 boot
diskette which will IPL either ISA or PS/2 machines. To make this diskette
first FORMAT a new 1.4MB floppy. Then use SYSINSTX from the OS/2 INSTALL
diskette to transfer the OS2LDR and OS2KRNL hidden files. Then copy in the
files listed below.
This disk also includes commonly needed utilities for such things as
UNPACKING files from the OS/2 Original disks, an OS/2 version of GREP for
finding strings in files, a little full screen OS/2 editor, etc. NOTE that
disk loads HPFS so HPFS volumes are also available. There's still some
room left over for your own utilities or optional device drivers such as
tape (so you can restore a failed system from tape.)
This is NOT simply a DISKCOPY of an OS/2 INSTALL diskette.
The volume label in drive A is OS2_BOOT.
The Volume Serial Number is E563:C014

The files below are the little editor I use. Downloaded from IBM forum.
At $45 the best bargain I've run into in quite a while. DOS version too
but as I don't use DOS, who cares?

From other message threads in the IBMOS2 forum it became apparent some
people wanted to be able to startup a system for such things as partition
maintainance. But the FDISK supplied with the OS/2 INSTALL diskette wasn't
documented. Here is an excerpt from the OS2TIP.INF available in the IBMOS2
forum which covers these undocumented FDISK switches.
TIP# 0003 ENTERED BY: Pav, Eric M.
FILENAME: OS2I0003.IPF SOURCE: OS2 FORUMS
DATE: 02/04/91 RELEASE LEVEL: 1.2
TIME: 6:45pm CSD LEVEL: GA
Below are the undocumented parameters discovered in the FDISK command on
the OS/2 1.2 installation diskette:
Parameter Description
/d Delete all partitions on first drive.
/D Same as /d.
/SiStiMInStaOlChECk Checks a drive to see if it is already partitioned.
/SiStiMInStaOlChECk:nn This will check the primary partition size against
the specified size (nn) in megabytes. Results are
returned via ERRORLEVEL.
/SiStiMInStaOlMaKE Partitions the drive.
/SiStiMInStaOlMaKE:nn Create a primary partition on size nn.
I would suggest writing a .CMD file to handle using the FDISK switches if
you need them.
Hope you folks find this diskette helpful.
