More info is needed here ie: are you installing from a two floppys and
CDROM(probably)? What type of CD Drive do you have?
A stab in the dark I would say it is a CDROM Driver problem the latest
drivers can be obtained from any good OS/2 BBS or even directly from IBM
BBS in Sydney.
How long did it sit there doing nothing before you rebooted it?
I could be wrong about the CDROM Driver,If I read you right you say you
only get to the first Disk.
You could try turn off the internal and external cache in the BIOS as
recomended in the trouble-shooting Docs.Then turn it on again after
the install.Are you using Disk compression ? NO NO NO! Only Stacker
for OS/2 will work and I doubt you have that.
