Sorry I couldn't reply to these earlier but Easynet Group's routers (and
therefore most of UKOnline) went base over apex last night.
I haven't seen the disks available for download, but to boot an OS/2 floppy
you'll need:
* an OS/2 bootsector - hard to miss if you see one, contains two text
strings - OS/2 error messages - reading OS2!!xxxx and OS2!!xxxx where I forget
what xxxx is (hey, it's been three years since I last installed OS/2 properly)
* the OS/2 kernel - OS2LDR.SYS, OS2KRNL.SYS IIRC
* The ABIOS 'requester' (my term, it's probably got a real name) - ABIOS.SYS
* The ABIOS routines - *.BIO
* A second disk (at least with Warp 3 you do) with CONFIG.SYS, drivers,
CMD.EXE etc. OS/2 1's kernel is probably so small it all fits on one.
Disk imaging software is commonplace if anyone needs some -
http://www.sydex.com do CopyQM (I might have got this confused with the book
company - if you don't see anything of interest, try http://www.sybex.com) -
simtel/sunsite/tucows/cdrom.com and gawd knows who else will have things like
RAWREAD and RAWRITE, DISKCOPY can be nabbed from Amstrad PC1000 series Disc 1
at http://web.ukonline.co.uk/cliff.lawson , Unices can normally 'dd
if=./dev/fd0 of=imagefile bs=512 count=1440' ...
