Hi all,
I wanted to install OS/2 Warp for a long time and finally made room to do it.
I have an IBM 330 486 DX2/66 and an MWave soundcard + modem and a nice network card. That should be enough to get me going.
It has a whopping 32mb of memory.
The BIOS doesn't understand anything above 4GB, so to test I installed a 2GB CF card (I want to use this system with a small DOM eventually).
It gets recognised and it seems to work. OS/2 install works, the cdrom works (I'm installing the blue spine version, 2 boot disks and a cd-rom).
I've used the advanced setup to remove partitions (reboot) make 1 partition of 2gb (reboot) and make it installable (reboot), ok, then it installs and seems to work fine, until it needs to boot.
I just see a cursor on the top left.
When I boot from the disks again and get to the command line I see almost all files are 0b in size.
So clearly it has problems with it, is the partition of 1900mb too large maybe? Or do I need to set things differently?
I haven't really worked with OS/2 before, so all help is welcome. I do know these kind of problems exist with more old os'es, like AmigaOS.
So maybe making 4 partitions of max 500mb is the quickest solution?
