OSINALT1 - USING ALT+F1 ON A SYSTEM WITH OS/2 WARP PRE-INSTALLED
01/18/96
=======================================================================
Using Alt+F1 on a System with OS/2 Warp Pre-Installed
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
If you press Alt+F1 to select the maintenance partition (M) on a system
with OS/2 Warp pre-installed, some information in the \OS2\BOOT\CONFIG.M
file might be incorrect. If the information IS incorrect, the
Installation program might stop with an error stating the SOURCEPATH is
incorrect.
RESOLUTION
Note: Make sure you have a backup of any file you intend to change.
1. Edit the \OS2\BOOT\CONFIG.M file and find the following SET
statements:
SET SOURCEPATH=
SET FDISKETTESOURCE=
2. Change the statements as follows:
* If you have NOT made a set of diskettes using the Diskette Factory
program:
SET SOURCEPATH=C:\DISKETTS\OS2V3
SET FDISKETTESOURCE=0
* If you HAVE made a set of installation diskettes, and the Diskette
Factory program deleted the INSTALL directory tree located under
\DISKETTS\OS2V3:
SET SOURCEPATH=A:
SET FDISKETTESOURCE=1
Note: When FDISKETTESOURCE is set to 1, you will be prompted to
insert diskettes.
