You were screwed?  I guess you didn't try booting with ALT-F1, and selecting 
the VGA option?  Also, I think there may be a few people that disagree with 
you on your statement that OS/2 is GUI based.. How many GUI based operating 
systems don't need to boot to a GUI (hint: OS/2 doesn't need a GUI)?
