- I built a system disk with SE20BOOT. My OS/2 system was delivered on 5-1/4
- inch floppies, and I built the disk on a 3-1/2 inch disk. I then booted from
- the freshly created disk, ran CHKDSK from my 3-1/2 inch set of XR06055 CSD
- disks (disk #1), and tried to reboot - but the Ctl-Alt-Delete sequence was
- completely ignored by the system. I wound up hitting the reset button.
-
- What gives? Am I doing something strange? Have I confused matters by mixing
- disk sizes in creating the boot disk? Am I just going nuts? Is this a bug or a
- feature?
