If you cant find the replacement Warp 3 boot FD's, try:
http://www.os2site.com/sw/upgrades/warp3/index.html
look at the pj23092.* files.
You will have to replace the ldr file on the floppy
Try WFP/OS2LDR.WFP or WHP/OS2LDR.WHP
ie, rename each one to OS2LDR as needed, replace the one on FD and see how you go.
Next question
if the OS2LDR file is hidden, you will need to use "attrib -s -h -r OS2LDR" on OS2LDR, which means booting into OS/2 somewhere. I dont have the FD's around at present to check but I certainly remember this problem in the late 90's.
