=======================================================================
             Installing OS/2 2.1 when Drive A Is 5.25-Inch
=======================================================================

Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedure
-------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

Your OS/2 2.1 package contains 3.5-inch diskettes, and your 3.5-inch 
drive is drive B.

RESOLUTION

1. Exchange the OS/2 2.1 package for a 5.25-inch version.

2. Download the following from the IBM PCC BBS (919-517-0001) or from
   CompuServe:

   Blue Diskettes:            

      PKUNZIP
      INS21L.ZIP
      LDF.COM

   Salmon or Green Diskettes:

      PKUNZIP
      INS21M.ZIP
      LDF.COM

   Each file has a README file that provides instructions.

   PKUNZIP is addressed shortly after logging on and gives you the
   option to download it.

3. Create 5.25-inch OS/2 startable diskettes using the procedure below
   and install OS/2 from drive B.

You can change your CMOS or BIOS setup and switch cables on the 
diskette drives.

If you receive a COUNTRY.SYS error message with Diskette 1 while 
redirecting:

* Check cables to verify they were switched correctly.
* Check the CMOS setup for the drives changed.

If problems or questions occur while doing this, contact the system 
vendor.

Creating 5.25-Inch Startable Diskettes
--------------------------------------
You need the DOS Debug utility program, about 1.5 MB of space on the 
hard disk, and two 1.2 MB 5.25-inch diskettes. Label one diskette OS/2 
V2.1 525DISK 0 and the other OS/2 V2.1 525DISK 1.

 1. Insert the 525DISK 1 diskette in drive A; then type
    C:\>FORMAT A: /U and press Enter.

 2. When prompted for the volume label, type DISK 1 and press Enter.

 3. When "Format another diskette (Y/N)?" appears, press Y and then
    Enter.

 4. Remove the diskette and insert 525DISK 0; then press Enter.

 5. When prompted for the volume label, type DISK 0 and press Enter.

 6. When "Format another diskette (Y/N)?" appears, press N and then
    Enter.

 7. Insert the OS/2 v2.1 Installation Diskette in drive B; then type
    the following commands, pressing Enter after each:

       C:\>DEBUG
       -L DS:0 1 0 1
       -E 13 60
       -E 14 09
       -E 15 F9
       -E 16 07
       -E 18 0F
       -W DS:0 0 0 1
       -Q

       C:\>COPY B:\OS2BOOT A:\
       C:\>COPY B:\OS2LDR A:\
       C:\>COPY B:\OS2LDR.MSG A:\
       C:\>COPY B:\OS2KRNLI A:\
       C:\>COPY B:\ABIOS.SYS A:\
       C:\>COPY B:\*.BIO A:\

 8. Remove the Installation Diskette from drive B and the 525DISK 0
    diskette from drive A.

 9. Insert 525DISK 1 in drive A and OS/2 Diskette 1 in drive B.

10. Type the following commands, pressing Enter after each:

       C:\>MD BINST
       C:\>COPY B:\*.* BINST
       C:\>DEL BINST\BUNDLE
       C:\>DEL BINST\SYSINST2.EXE
       C:\>COPY BINST\*.* A:\
       C:\>ECHO SET OS2_SHELL=CMD.EXE>> A:\CONFIG.SYS
       C:\>ECHO SET DISKETTESOURCE=B:\ >> A:\CONFIG.SYS

11. Insert 525DISK 0 in drive A; then restart the system.

12. When prompted for Diskette 1, insert 525DISK 1 in drive A.

13. Press Enter. You are now at the A: prompt.

14. Insert OS/2 Diskette 1 in drive B; then type B:\SYSINST2 and press
    Enter. The OS/2 installation starts from drive B.

15. When prompted, insert the OS/2 v2.1 Installation diskettes in drive
    B.

16. Leave the 525DISK 1 diskette in drive A until you are prompted to
    remove all diskettes; then remove the diskettes and restart the
    system.
