DESCRIPTION

When installing OS/2 Warp on a PS/2 system with an AOX upgrade card, 
the system locks up at Diskette 1 with a blank screen and the 
diskette-drive light on.

RESOLUTION

The options diskette for the AOX card has two settings:
                                  
   NO:  The default.
   YES: The system returns that it is a PS/2 Model 80.

Change the setting to YES.

If the system then locks up on drivers, such as IBMKBD and SONY31A:

1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.

2. Remark-out (REM) all of the SCSI and CD-ROM driver statements (the
   BASEDEV statements at the end of the file).

3. Remark-out the IBM2FLPY.ADD driver statement.

4. Make sure the IBM1FLPY statement reads:

      BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /MCA

5. Save and exit the file.

This allows the system to display the Welcome screen so you can 
successfully install OS/2 Warp.

Retry the installation.
