For my backups I bought recently a Fujitsu DynaMO 2511 magneto-optical
drive. I use a notebook computer with a Trantor T348 MiniSCSI Plus and
an external CD-ROM. The magneto optical drive is connected through the
MiniSCSI and is designated drive "E". Driv

In a situation where I cannot boot OS/2 I would have no way of accessing
drive "E" for a restore. I have come up with the following procedure to
create a set of boot-disks that will allow me to restore after a boot
from floppy diskettes.

1. Use a 1.44MB floppy to create a DISKCOPY from IBM Diskette 1.

2. This diskette does not have enough free space for the required drivers.
   Delete files PRINT01.SYS and PRINT02.SYS to increase space. 

   	CAUTION:
   	Do not delete these files on the original IBM diskette 1.

3. Create the directory EMERG on your harddisk. This directory will hold 
   copies of SCSI related files that cannot be copied onto the floppy disk.

4. Use XCOPY to copy the following files from the OS/2 directory and
   BakupWiz directory into the EMERG directory:

   T348SCSI.ADD
   CDFS.IFS
   OPTICAL.SYS
   OS2CDROM.DMD
   OS2SCSI.DMD
   BWOS2ADD.SYS

	Note:
	Not all of these files are required for an emergency boot. For a 
        possible later re-installation or in case any of these files should 
        get corrupted I have copied these files onto a formatted floppy.

5. The CONFIG.SYS will typically contain a statement like this:

	BASEDEV=T348SCSI.ADD
	IFS=\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
	BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
	BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD
	DEVICE=C:\OS2\OPTICAL.SYS /N:4 /U /Q
	DEVICE=C:\BWS5\BWOS2ADD.SYS


Add the following statements to the CONFIG.SYS file on the FLOPPY DISK 
created in step 1:

	BASEDEV=T348SCSI.ADD
	IFS=c:\emerg\CDFS.IFS /Q
	BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
	DEVICE=c:\emerg\OPTICAL.SYS /N:4 /U /Q

Make sure to replace the directory reference "\OS2\" on the harddisk
config.sys with "c:\emerg\" on the floppy config.sys.

6. I have labelled this diskette "JUMPSTART - DISKETTE 1"

When booting from the INSTALLATION DISK and this diskette, the CD-ROM
drive will not be recognized and loaded. Consequently, during emergency
boot-up the magneto-optical drive will now be drive "D" instead of drive
"E".

Therefore, as a reminder, I have added the following note to the label
of the floppy:

	Note for restore. 
	Magneto-optical drive is now drive "D". 
	
7. You can now boot your system with the IBM INSTALLATION DISK and the newly 
   created JUMPSTART - DISKETTE 1. After boot-up change into the
   harddrive and the BakupWiz directory. Load BakupWiz select CONFIG and
   CONFIGURATION: EDIT TAPE IMAGE FILE PATH to point to the magneto-optical
   drive, in this example "D". As you will hopefully use this procedure 
   only once, it is not neccessary to save this setting when prompted.
   
   During boot-up you will see the message "Message file OSO001.MSG cannot
   be found". Ignore this message, no action is required.

   Start your restore.
