After you did your install, did you copy the required files from your install
diskette to your hard drive? As I recall, you have to copy the files cdfs.ifs and
os2cdrom.dmd to your os2 directory and put the following lines in your
config.sys in order to get the cd to work.

ifs=c:\os2\cdfs.ifs /q
basedev=os2cdrom.dmd

hope this helps
