OS/2 Software Driver Installation:

OS/2 operating system comes with a utilities program to
help users install device drivers automatically. It will copy all
the necessary files to specified directory and update CONFIG.SYS
file without user's intervention. Following is the installation
procedure.

After OS/2 system boots up, on DESKTOP, double click on
OS/2 SYSTEM icon, then SYSTEM SETUP followed by DEVICE DRIVER
INSTALL. You will see a window prompt you to enter the Source and
Destination Directory. DO NOT change the Destination Directory
setting, the files must be copied to OS/2 default directory, only
check the 3.5" floppy drive in your system matches the Source
Directory setting (A:\OS2 or B:\OS2) and change the drive letter
accordingly. Then put distribution disk in the drive click Install.
The next screen displays the drivers available to install, if you are
installing a hard disk click on Commuter Hard Disk Driver then
click OK. After this, click on EXIT then YES, then you will be asked
to restart your system to make the driver take effect. To complete
the installation process, just follow the procedure to Shut down the
system. When the system boots up next time, a new drive letter
should appear.

If you are a experienced user and prefer to install the
driver manually, here are the steps you have to follow: (using
this method to install driver is highly discouraged, unless you are
absolutely sure what you are doing)

Copy CDISK.ADD from floppy disk to C:\OS2\BOOT directory Add
BASEDEV=CDISK.ADD line in CONFIG.SYS (can be anywhere, recommend
placing in the last line) Then reboot system.
