OS/2 Warp 4 hang @ boot up.

I've installed my system with OS/2 using CDROM and the bootdisks I created from the CDROM. Everything seemed to go fine, NIC was detected and installed. I selected the Generic VGA as the display (tho' I had an ATI card). When the system rebooted after the install, went thru the Warp Logo screen, then I get the screen telling me the network card is installed. Then after a while, the screen goes blank with a blinking cursor at the top left corner and nothing else happens. I've tried rebooting a couple of times with the same result (of course, after it goes through CHKDSK). Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm a first time user of OS/2 so pardon my ignorance.
PS: System is a P133 w/MMX, 2Gig HD, 32Mb Ram, ATI Graphics Pro Turbo Mach64, AZT3000PnP Sound Card.

On what line in config.sys does it stop at? Try to boot the system using ALT+F2 when you boot and you'll see every line during boot and by that you'll able to figure out what's the problem.
