AFTER the initial installation, but before the reboot, you need to interrupt 
the process (with either a DOS boot disk or boot manager or anything)
and edit CONFIG.SYS to REM the following line (near the top)

BASEDEV=DETNE2.SYS

This line is designed to locate NE2000 compatible network cards, but 
in practice it just seems to conflict with Sony CD-ROM drives and controllers.

IBM level II support told me I did the right thing by deleting the line.  You
will also want to make sure Warp has chosen the correct CD ROM drive
which it hasn't done for me.
