OS/2 Warp 4 fails on Install Disk 2: SYS0318, then SYSINST2
Posted: 27. May 2012, 18:34
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install OS/2 Warp 4 into Virtualbox 4.1.16. I have the three installation diskettes, along with an actual CD. I've edited the second (Disk 1) diskette so that the danis506 IDE and ATAPI drivers have replaced the respective IBM drivers.
I first boot up from the "Installation Diskette" (Disk 0), then proceed to boot up disk 1. Finally, I will insert Disk 2, get a prompt about what I'm installing, and be asked to press Enter. After doing so, it waits for a second, when I get a screen reading like this:
My Host OS is Windows Vista Ultimate SP2, 64 bit. I have 64MB allocated to the OS2 VM, and the IDE controller is set to ICH6. I've tried all three, however.
If anyone has any experience with getting past Disk 2 and can help me with the above errors, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,

EDIT: This article seems to address my issue, although while following the steps, once I try to run sysinst2, I get the following error:

ERROR: SYSINST2.EXE failed to return the target drive. F3=Command PromptAfter that, I am left with no choice but to return to a prompt. I'm able to browse the cd just fine, and what's even more strange is that I was able to fdisk the hard drive (or what I thought was the hard drive), but when I change the prompt to c: and try running dir, the volume label and serial number is shown, although I get a SYS0026 error saying the specified disk or diskette cannot be accessed.
