No CD-ROM device detected.
Machines with an unsupported CD-ROM drive, for example a really new or a very old one. Or you have a CD-ROM on the network, but not on the machine you wish to install OS/2 on.
No driver for CD-ROM device or no CD-ROM drive available in machine connected to the network.
First make sure your CD-ROM drive is really unsupported. For instance, there are drivers for IDE CD-ROM drives and even for oddball drives like the Optics Storage Dolphin AT-800.
Follow these steps to trick OS/2 into installing from the harddisk.
