DESCRIPTION

After the first restart during installation, OS/2 no longer recognizes 
the CD-ROM.

RESOLUTION

Note: Make sure you have a backup copy of any file you intend to change.

1. Start from the Installation Diskette. Insert Diskette 1 when
   prompted.

2. When the system finishes reading Diskette 1, press F3. This takes
   you to a command prompt.

3. At the command prompt, change to the install drive and type
   tedit config.sys.

4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.

5. Look for the BPCDOS2 statement and change it to read:

      BASEDEV=BPCDOS2.ADD NO EPP

6. Open the CMOS settings set up for your system.

7. Make sure the parallel port you are using is in centronics mode.

8. Turn off all power (including the CD-ROM power); then turn it on.
