DESCRIPTION

During installation from CD-ROM on an IBM Model 9553, the following 
errors might occur if the CD-ROM installation procedures are not 
followed:

RESOLUTION

To correctly install OS/2 2.1 on a Model 9553:

1. Make a backup copy of the OS/2 2.1 Installation Diskette. Label the
   new diskette, "New OS/2 2.1 Installation Diskette - PS/2 9553
   486SLC2 Only."

2. Copy the ABIOS.SYS file and all files with a *.BIO extension from
   the PS/2 9553 486SLC2 Reference Diskette to the New Installation
   Diskette.

   Note: If the New Installation Diskette does not have enough
         room for the new *.BIO files, erase the old *.BIO files
         and the ABIOS.SYS file from the diskette.

3. Install OS/2 using the CD-ROM and the New Installation Diskette.

4. Continue installation from the CD-ROM, following the prompts on the
   screen.

5. When installation is complete, turn off the system.

6. Insert the New Installation Diskette in drive A; then turn on the
   system.

7. Follow the instructions until the "Welcome to OS/2" screen appears;
   then press Esc to go to an OS/2 command prompt.

8. Copy the ABIOS.SYS file and all files with a *.BIO extension from
   the diskette in drive A to the subdirectory where OS/2 is being
   installed.

9. Restart the system from the hard disk and complete the OS/2
   installation.
