- I can tell you what I did...One of the beta copies I have (2.0.?), the one
- that came on the PDK CD, did exactly the same thing, after installing the
- equivalent of the first 5 3.5" diskettes I rebooted and got the offending
- COUNTRY.SYS message. At this point I booted off of my OS/2 2.0 boot
- diskette and manually edited my CONFIG.SYS, adding the base device driver
- for my controller, in this case BASEDEV=AHA154X.ADD for my Adaptec 1542
- SCSI controller. I rebooted and the remainder of the installation went
- without a hitch. I had no problems with the 2.1 beta CD though so I can't
- make any guarentees!
