I can tell you what I did...One of the beta copies I have (2.0.?), the one
that came on the PDK CD, did exactly the same thing, after installing the
equivalent of the first 5 3.5" diskettes I rebooted and got the offending
COUNTRY.SYS message. At this point I booted off of my OS/2 2.0 boot
diskette and manually edited my CONFIG.SYS, adding the base device driver
for my controller, in this case BASEDEV=AHA154X.ADD for my Adaptec 1542
SCSI controller. I rebooted and the remainder of the installation went
without a hitch. I had no problems with the 2.1 beta CD though so I can't
make any guarentees!
