--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When installing OS/2 Warp on a PS/2 system with an AOX upgrade card,
the system locks up at Diskette 1 with a blank screen and the
diskette-drive light on.
RESOLUTION
The options diskette for the AOX card has two settings:
NO: The default.
YES: The system returns that it is a PS/2 Model 80.
Change the setting to YES.
If the system then locks up on drivers, such as IBMKBD and SONY31A:
1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
2. Remark-out (REM) all of the SCSI and CD-ROM driver statements (the
BASEDEV statements at the end of the file).
3. Remark-out the IBM2FLPY.ADD driver statement.
4. Make sure the IBM1FLPY statement reads:
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /MCA
5. Save and exit the file.
This allows the system to display the Welcome screen so you can
successfully install OS/2 Warp.
Retry the installation.
