Help!!

I have just got OS/2 for Windows on CD-ROM and I am having problems.
I have a SoundBlaster/Panasonic CD-ROM combination, I have the SBCD2.ADD
driver on disk number one, and altered the config.sys accordingly.
This setup works perfectly, the drive is recognised and OS/2 installs
without a problem.

My problem is:  While OS/2 installs perfectly from CD, it does not copy the
		CD drivers, and configuration to the new OS/2 setup.
		In short, OS/2 cannot use the CD-ROM, so I cannot install
		CD-ROM support from the CD. 

	I know that all I need is to unpack the CDROMREQ package from one
of the disks (I know this because I have tried out 2.1 on disk), but I can't
access the CD to be able to copy the files (under OS/2)
Is my only solution left to boot up DOS and copy the file (YUK!),
if so then thumbs down to IBM.
