OSINPHDR - PHANTOM DRIVES DURING INSTALLATION
10/17/96
=======================================================================
Phantom Drives during Installation
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
After modifying the OS/2 Warp 4 installation diskettes to add support
for an NCR SCSI controller, drive letters are incorrectly assigned
during startup on the installation diskettes. This causes the
installation program to look for a nonexistent or incorrect drive, and
an error message "the device is not ready." The CD-ROM is assigned an
incorrect drive letter.
RESOLUTION
Use a text editor, such as TEDIT shipped with OS/2, to edit the
CONFIG.SYS file on the modified OS/2 Installation Diskette 1; check for
and remove any duplicate lines. Duplicate BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD
statements cause this error.
