=================================================================
Installation on ZEOS notebook fails
=================================================================
RESOLUTION:
Follow the following steps:
The fix for this problem assumes that you have access to a
working copy of OS/2 2.0. Ask your local IBM dealer if they can
provide an OS/2 2.0 machine for you to use for a few minutes, or
ask a friend/co-worker with 2.0 installed. Bring your Instal-
lation diskette with you, along with a blank formatted high
density 3.5 inch diskette.
Step 1. Open the OS/2 System object on the OS/2 Desktop by
double clicking with mouse button 1 (usually the left
mouse button)
Step 2. Open the Command Prompts folder (by double clicking on
the folder object).
Step 3. Double click on the OS/2 Window Object.
Step 4. You should now be at an OS/2 Command Prompt.
Step 5. Backup your Installation Diskette to the blank 3.5 inch
high density diskette you brought with you. Enter the
following command at the pronpt: DISKCOPY A: A:<enter>
and follow the prompts.
Step 6. With your backup diskette in the drive, enter the fol-
lowing: PATCH SYSINSTX.COM<enter>
Step 7. When asked for the offset address, enter: 96AF<enter>
Step 8. On the line that is shown, enter 45 to replace 44 as
the first byte in the line and then press <enter>.
Step 9. When asked if you wish to apply patches, answer: Y
<enter>.
Step 10. At the OS/2 Command prompt again, enter: SYSINSTX A:
Step 11. Install OS/2 on your ZEOS using the patched backup
Installation Diskette.
Step 12. The patch MUST be applied using OS/2. If it is not
available, a diskette with the patch applied can be
sent to you from IBM.
