- Hello I have
-
- (1) 386 DX 25Mhz
- (2) SyQuest Removable 88Mb
- (3) Adaptec 1542B controler
-
-
- (A) I try installing OS/2 on HPFS.
- ----------------------------------
- It works till the 9the disk ... then he complains about wrong disk ... but no
- wrong disk at all ... I tell him to ignore ... he continues without any
- problem.
- Then the BOOT ... brrr ... starting to show his screen in graphics OS2/OS2/etc
- ... then he stops telling me some kind of message like an exception error with
- QEMM.
-
- Ex: AX = ... BX = ... ES = ...
-
- Ok tried again ... 9th disk again being wrong ... boot didn't work.
-
- (B) Installing OS/2 with FAT.
- -----------------------------
- Well he doesn't complain anymore about 9th disk ? ... be does the installation
- in one run without any problem ... then I try the BOOT ... but what do I see
- ... just the same kind of ERROR I had booting up in HPFS.
-
-
- So what can be done ?
-
- I thing the problem is
- (a) Adaptec (Standard installation) / (Syquest standard ID 0 so bootable)
- (b) OS/2 using SCSI
- (c) Removability ? (I don't want to use this when running OS/2 so ?)
-
- Any help will be appreciated.
- Thankx ... someone who bought SyQuest to boot Linux / OS2 / BSD free / BSD and
- till now I can only run MSDOS ... F*CH SH*T *%&^ ... grrr
