I don't want to sound like a wet blanket, but I don't think this can be
done - there just isn't enough room, even if you used both drives.

A few versions of the Netware requestor back, I had managed to hack something
together that worked, by putting the requestor files on a (FAT)
partition on the hard disk (referencing that from the boot floppy).  It
required about 3 megs on the hard disk.  Unfortunately, since then, the
requestor has gotten big, fat, and ugly (like all software eventually
does) and I haven't been able to get it working since.

Note: You may actually be able to do it - by endlessly testing which
files you need and so on, but I doubt you'd find the experience
rewarding.  Also, the "Can't find file" message is OS/2's way of saying
it can't find a DLL.  Either the file is missing or the dir that it is
in isn't on your LIBPATH.
