Look for CDINST.BAT which will make you 3 installation diskettes, to use for OS/2 install from CD. It would also be good to go to the IBM OS/2 Device Driver Pak On-Line and download the installation (second diskette) upgrade. MAKEDSKS.BAT will make you an entire set of (40-50) floppies. Both can be run from a DOS prompt.

Hi guys. This may be useful. Symptoms No CD-ROM device detected. Hardware Machines with an unsupported CD-ROM drive, for example a really new or a very old one. Or you have a CD-ROM on the network, but not on the machine you wish to install OS/2 on. Problem No driver for CD-ROM device or no CD-ROM drive available in machine connected to the network. Procedure First make sure your CD-ROM drive is really unsupported. For instance, there are drivers for IDE CD-ROM drives and even for oddball drives like the Optics Storage Dolphin AT-800. Follow these steps to trick OS/2 into installing from the harddisk. Boot DOS in a configuration where you can access the CD-ROM drive. Let's assume G: is the drive letter of your (networked) CD-ROM. Change this in the following to reflect your situation. Locate a partition with ~45MB of free space. We'll assume this is drive letter D:. This should not be the partition to which you plan to install OS/2 Warp, unless there will be enough space left to complete the installation. From the root of drive D: MD os2image XCOPY G:\os2image os2image /s COPY G:\os2se20.src D:\ Insert Diskette 1. Edit A:\config.sys Modify the SET CDINST line to read SET CDINST=D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_1\SYSINST2.exe If there is none (Warp 4?), don't change anything at all. Save the file. Insert Installation Diskette #0. Reboot. When the OS/2 install program boots, it looks on every drive letter it can detect for the file OS2SE20.SRC in the root directory. See if the install routine now detects the installation files in \OS2IMAGE (without having to have the CD in the CD-ROM). If not, you could try pressing F3 at the installation to get the Command Line prompt. Then, execute SYSINST2.exe (located on A: or in one of the subdirectories in \OS2IMAGE). If the installation routine happily continues, go on and Warp your machine! Notes This was a Tip of the Month, July '95 of the Grassroots Gazette, by Kris Kwilas - IBM BESTeam kwilas@uiuc.edu.
