Installation[edit | edit source]
The installation disk is not bootable, but contains a set of disk images which each must be copied onto a set of 20 floppy disks in 3.5" 1.44MB format. To copy the installation files to floppy disks for use, run the INSTALL\LOADDSKF <drive installation media is in>:\BETADISK\OS2SE21\35\DISK#.DSK command in the root directory of the installation media, where # is a number from 0 (installation boot disk) to 19. Repeat for the display and print disks via INSTALL\LOADDSKF <drive installation media is in>:\BETADISK\OS2SE21\35\DISP#.DSK (where # is a number from 1 to 2) and INSTALL\LOADDSKF <drive installation media is in>:\BETADISK\OS2SE21\35\PMDD#.DSK (where # is a number from 1 to 5).
CD installation does not work for this build, as it will result in setup crashing due to being unable to locate OSO001.MSG.
