Well i got a problem. I Cant install OS/2 on my new machine. The bootfloppys work's fine until it gets to the cd then im left with a black screen with the cursor blinking at the top the numlock goes out and nothing happens? exept for my floppy it continues to read. i tried to fix the drivers on the floppy without succes even replacing them with drivers that had support for large drives didnt help :( it traced a message posted somewhere that the problem is located in the ibmkbd.sys and there should be a fix for it but the links dead. Any help would be appreciated Thx. Alan
