- Well, I gave up and reinstalled. IBM's support is less than useless for
- problems like this; worse, they are a waste of time!
-
- I now have:
-
- Disk 1 (IDE)
- 1 Mb Boot Manager
- C: FAT Primary
- E: FAT
-
- Disk 2 (SCSI)
- 1 Mb Boot Manager
- D: FAT Primary
- F: FAT
- G: HPFS
- H: HPFS (OS/2 Boot)
-
- What is even more interesting, is that when I boot OS/2, all partitions are
- accessible! IBM is lying if they tell you that it won't work! Now if only
- OS/2 could have done a partial install to fix the COUNTRY.SYS enigma; better
- yet, if only IBM knew what the heck this bug means and how to fix it! Anyway,
- no problems at all booting from a SCSI disk from Boot Manager on the first disk
- which is IDE, after a reinstall. However, my desktop is back to the default
- :-(
