- I used to run a 386/25 from Intel with an age old Phoenix BIOS. No problems
- at all. I think it was dated xx/xx/88 or very early 89.

- Actually the installation process should not be that sensible while copying
- specific files. Maybe you find someone in your neighbourhood with an OS/2
- boot disk. If that comes up you should not have any problems.
- Did you check those disks ? I had some disks with faulty packed files on them.
- That would stop the installation immediately.
