Some senseless babbling from Nick Andre to All
on 11-02-99  16:08 about Installation problem...

 NA> Hi!

 NA> I'm trying to install OS/2 Warp 3.0 Redspine on a friends system.
He's
 NA> running  a 486DX/33Mhz all-ISA board, 400mb Quantum HD, standard
 NA> ISA/FDD controller,  and just a VGA card installed.

 NA> OS/2 starts to boot okay on Disk 0, but after the "Loading; please
 NA> wait"  message appears, the screen goes blank, and the system
stops. I
 NA> have no idea  whats going on, (Alt+F2 doesn't seem to work on the
 NA> installation disks). I've  tried everything I could think of
(disabling
 NA> cache, etc), but to no avail.
 NA> Any ideas/suggestions?

On disk 1, edit the config.sys and REM out all devices (*.add) not on
his
system. The names are all fairly obvious.
