I try to install OS/2 2.1 on a virtual pc and it does OS/2 2.1 disks 1 disks 1-5 correctly. It asks for the install disk and I capture it but it throws up an error message. The message:
Check the label on your disk. The label is meant to say 'INSTALLATION DISK' I've tried everything I can. Please help!

The Install disk is the very first one that you inserted in drive A to start the setup from the beginning.The OS/2 does go back to the first diskettes to copy system files to the hard drive.It does the same with Warp 3.0.Good luck.
