ok. build some diskimages with the bat / cmd files on it. You'll get 3 or 4 disks with a bootable os/2. Possible you have to check the config.sys on disk 2 an make some changes: f.e. drivers for hd or cd-rom drives are need
After you made checked the config.sys - boot from diskimage 1 an see what happend
