[comp.os.os2] Booting Os2/1.2

Juergen.Walter@f4.n246.z2.FIDONET.ORG (Juergen Walter) (01/29/90)

hello
i have some trouble with a copy of the os2 v1.2 boot disk
it tell's me something like this: canno't use the given information to IPL the system'. This message comes on different machines, and is caused by the OS2LDR. Tried to copy the os2ldr and os2krnl programm to bootable os2 hd-caused the same error. Tried these boot-disk on some different machines, ( all are clowns and run os2 v1.1, novell, dos ]_r xenknix ), allways the same game.
anybody here who knows what IPL is? ( i know IPC... )
:-)
thanks for the answer
bye
  juergen

   IPL = Initial Program Load (what you usually call BOOT)...
