SET INSTALLDRIVE=drive_letter
which will set the installation drive to drive_letter:, e.g.,
SET INSTALLDRIVE=F
Referring to "Another solution to the FDISK problem", I had the same problem too, but the cause is not because of hard drive with more than 1024 cyl.
The problem is, I have my DOS in C drive, and I have linux already. I tried to install OS/2 in my second drive (D), but because I didn't install boot manager (I use LILO), so install program thinks I can never boot from D drive, hence the drive is not installable.
The fix: same as "Another solution to the FDISK problem", use
set INSTALLDRIVE=D (or whatever drive)It will install, it will ask you if you want to format it, FAT/HPFS, and things will go fine, until you hit the point when install wants to reboot. It will keep asking you to take away the floppy and reboot, even when the floppy is already out. Ignore it, just reset your PC, add OS/2 partition to LILO, and load OS/2.
