Eric, Hmmm, let's back up a ways. You're trying to install OS/2 2.1 March beta from CD-ROM. You're installing over MS-DOS? Which version? You have a Media Vision PAS-16 board with the 31A interface on-board, and you can access the CD-ROM from DOS. I can see from your DOS CONFIG.SYS file that the port address for your 31A drive is 1F88. You created the two OS/2 boot diskettes (5.25"), you deleted all of the AHA*.add files from the second diskette and removed the "BASEDEV=" lines referencing those files from the CONFIG.SYS file on the same diskette. You copied the file SONYB31A.ADD to the second diskette, and you added the following line to the _end_ of the CONFIG.SYS file on that diskette: BASEDEV=SONYB31A.ADD /a:0 /p:1f88 You performed a warm boot with the first diskette in your A: drive, put the second diskette in the drive when you were prompted to, and you still get the SYS0318 error. Sounds like you're doing everything I did, except I only deleted the file AHA152x.ADD instead of all the Adaptec .ADD's. Am I right so far? -car-
