- OS/2 V2 Installation problems on non-IBM systems
- ================================================
-
- If you encounter problems installing or booting OS/2 Version 2 on
- non-IBM systems, this fix may help.
-
- Download OS2V2OEM.EXE and run it. It will expand to:-
- IBM1S506.ADD
- OS2DASD.DMD
-
- IF OS/2 V2 installation ran OK but errors occur on rebooting:-
-
- Copy these two files to the \OS2 subdirectory of your boot drive.
- Do this by booting a DOS diskette if the target drive is FAT,
- or the OS/2 Installation diskette then diskette #1, and pressing
- ESC to get a command prompt, if the target is HPFS.
-
- IF OS/2 V2 failed to install at all:
-
- - Make a backup of diskette #1
- - Copy OS2DASD.DMD to both the Installation diskette and
- diskette #1 backup.
- - copy OS2DASD.DMD and IBM1S506.ADD to diskette #1 backup.
- - try reinstalling again.
