Below is a list of files necessary to create a 3.5" Boot Disk for OS/2 GA with HPFS support. Sorry but HPFS.IFS makes it too large for 5.25" drives.
Copy sysinstx.com from the Install Disk and run this to copy the hidden file OS2BOOT from your hard drive to a Formatted 1.4 meg floppy. Copy the other files from the appropriate disk to create the boot disk.
OS2BOOT 1099 Created on boot disk by sysinstx.com
OS2KRNL 716044 Copy OS2KRNLI from Install Disk and rename.
OS2LDR 32256 Copy from Install Disk.

Adding HPFS.IFS allows you to view and manipulate High Performance File System drives.
To use CHKDSK.COM against these drives format a second floppy and copy CHKDSK.COM and UHPFS.DLL to the disk. CHKDSK loads UHPFS.DLL when it gives the message "The HPFS file system program has been started". You could also add CD support to the boot disk by including CDFS.IFS to your boot disk and adding the appropriate IFS= statement to the config.sys. If you do this add UCDFS.DLL to your second "utility" disk for chkdsk, format, etc. to load.
