Fahrvenugen, I modified that Disk 1 config.sys and changed the rem-ed items to correspond to the IBM recommendations page you posted. Any *.ADDs deleted for space were also deleted from the config.sys; only a handful and all unneeded anyway.

The rem-ed *.ADD drivers referred to in config.sys I did not delete from the disk. For every *.ADD driver deleted for space, the corresponding 'basedev=*.ADD' lines in config.sys were also deleted.

I added SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 at the beginning of config.sys, not knowing any more appropriate place to put it.

OK?

Well, dang.

I re-made the disks 0 and 1 using CDINST.BAT. Replies noted successful completion. I deleted just the AHA, AIC and B?scsi *.ADD (190kb) files from Disk 1; changed config.sys by adding the SET etc line, and rem-ed out the above deleted *.ADD devices. I copied onto Disk 1 the new files extracted from idedasd.exe and only the five you recommended.

Doesn't matter about Disk 1, though. Booting Disk 0, Installation Diskette, brings up the small DOS title 'OS/2', some loading from drive A:, then the screen blanks and the system reboots without any further statements or error messages. The floppies I imaged onto were new and formated from DOS 6.22. I felt uneasy about re-using the original IBM disks, even though they were virus-cleaned and re-imaged. I suppose the imaging by CDINST.BAT formats as it runs anyway . . . ?

I used my tsetup utility to disable secondary cache in CMOS on the Tecra. There is no option for PNP OS vs OS/2; just very simple and bare.

I guess next I'll check for problems with HD size. I may need to repartition. And I'll keep working with it. At least you got me this far - and that's darn far! Thanks again. I'll be checking back.

Hi,

If I understand correctly the system is rebooting when Disk 0 is still trying to boot, and you never get to the blue IBM screen saying "put disk 1 in" (or something like that). If this is correct, then updated drivers on Disk 1 and the config.sys isn't likely the problem because the system never gets to the point of actually reading those drivers into memory.

If I recall correctly there were some early versions of Warp 3 which Disk 0 didn't like to boot properly. Have a look at the date on the folders on your CD Rom and see when they were created. If it has a date of 07/08/95 or later then you should be okay (one copy I have has this date on the folders and it installs pretty well), but if it is earlier then that, (for example, I have a copy of Warp 3 which has dates of 02/06/95 which does not install on a lot of machines properly) then you'll probably need a newer "disk 0".

As for the config.sys, here's that portion from the file that I have on one of the install disks I have used in the past:

rem basedev=cmd640x.add
basedev=ibmkbd.sys
rem basedev=i2oxport.sys
basedev=ibm1flpy.add
basedev=ibm1s506.add
rem basedev=ibm2flpy.add
rem basedev=ibm2adsk.add
rem basedev=ibm2scsi.add
basedev=ibmint13.i13
basedev=os2dasd.dmd
device=testcfg.sys
set os2_shell=cdinst.exe
set saveconnect=1
set cdrominst=1
ifs=cdfs.ifs
rem basedev=aha152x.add
rem basedev=aha154x.add
rem basedev=aha164x.add
rem basedev=aha174x.add
rem basedev=aic7770.add
rem basedev=aic7870.add
rem basedev=btscsi.add
rem basedev=fd16-700.add
rem basedev=fd8xx.add
rem basedev=fd7000ex.add
rem basedev=dpt20xx.add
rem basedev=chincds1.flt
rem basedev=cmdatapi.flt
rem basedev=hitcds1.flt
rem basedev=neccds1.flt
rem basedev=sonycds1.flt
rem basedev=toshcds1.flt
basedev=ibmidecd.flt
rem basedev=tmv1scsi.add
rem basedev=sony535.add
rem basedev=lms206.add
rem basedev=mitfx001.add
rem basedev=sbcd2.add
rem basedev=sony31a.add
device=os2cdrom.dmd


Just to note, from reading your post you'll need to put back in the IBMIDECD.FLT line. As I recall this is a generic driver for IDE CD-Rom drives. Also I believe you can REM out the basedev=toshcds1.flt
line. I'm not fully familiar with that Toshiba, but if it is using a standard IDE type CD Rom drive, then that drive is handled by the
ibm1s506.add
os2cdrom.dmd
ibmidecd.flt
CDFS.IFS
OS2DASD.DMD

The SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 can go anywhere in the file.

As for the other items you mention, the USB and stuff, this can be tricky under Warp 3, but not impossible. The first step is to get the OS up and running and install the latest fixpak(s). Then worry about USB and stuff. Also, once up and running your system may not recognize all 80 MB that you have (on some systems OS/2 only "sees" 64 Megs), although there is also a fix for this. But again, that can be worried about later.

Hope this helps!
