In order to do so, you must delete files on Diskette 1 to provide
space. Consult the

README.1ST

file on the Device Driver Pak. It

contains a list of files that may not be deleted. Follow the
instructions provided in the

README.1ST

file. Once space is

made available on Diskette 1, copy the appropriate SDMS
device driver onto this diskette.

When

ADD

drivers are deleted from Diskette 1, make certain to

delete or remark out the corresponding

BASEDEV=

statement in

the

CONFIG.SYS

file. Otherwise, error messages will show up

during installation.

Step 4.

Edit the

CONFIG.SYS

file on the copy of Diskette 1 by adding

one of the following lines at the end of the file:

BASEDEV=SYM8XX.ADD /V

or

BASEDEV=SYM_HI.ADD /V

If installing both drivers, make sure that the BASEDEV= lines
for the drivers appear in the

CONFIG.SYS

file in the order in

which the drivers must load. Refer to

Section 7.3.2.1, “Driver

Order in the

CONFIG.SYS

File,” page 7-8

to understand the

importance of driver order.

Step 5.

Follow the directions in the

README.1ST

file for adding the

following line to the

CONFIG.SYS

file:

SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1

This allows the SDMS driver to be copied from the installation
diskette to the system's boot drive.

Step 6.

Place the copy of Installation Diskette in the

A:

drive and reboot

the computer.

Step 7.

Proceed with the OS/2 installation process as documented in
the OS/2 Installation Guide.
