When installing the latest Beta, I chose "Other" for display type.

At the end of install, a message says that "Other" is not available for
this beta.  Then, it asks me to remove the disk and hit enter to start
OS/2.

I get the OS/2 opening screen, then. . . . nothing.

Now that I know I was supposed to choose 'VGA' and not 'other', and now
that I was able to re-boot under DOS by getting to the OS/2 
command interpreter on the first two install disks and BOOT /dos 'ing:

Is there any way to recover from my error w/o re-installing?

Thx in advance,

Gary
