John, I think the key to this problem might be the fact that I cannot read
the *Load File*?

I get Error reading load file... msg even when I manually attempt to load
PS2SCSI.DSK, OS2.NAM or MOUNT ALL?
I think if someone can tell me how to resolve this Load File thing, I might
be back in business.

By any means necessary,  (recreate/recover whatever).
