Earlier I posted asking advice on getting my Future Domain 850 SCSI controller
driver working happily under OS/2.  Thanks to the advice of several persons
here I achieved that goal.  Now I have a different problem.

When I cold-boot the system, after the OS/2 title screen, the config.sys
reports "No SCSI devices found".  The SCSI driver (for a FD 850) has been
correctly loaded, but for some reason it can't find the CD-ROM on the SCSI
chain.  Now if I immediately shutdown and warm-boot then the driver finds
the drive just fine!  So something is initializing something else somewhere.

Is this something to do with the order of drivers in the CONFIG.SYS?  If
so is there anywhere that I could find a reference that would explain how
the CONFIG.SYS file should be ordered?  I wish IBM had put in better
documentation!

Thanks in advance

Charles
