OS/2 does have a problem reading >1024 cyls - I will try to find out if there
is a solution to this problem and let you know.
You may even want to buy a new HD controller so it has the new OS/2 drivers
you could then boot up OS/2 on the older disk, format the new one and 
carry on from there. (This may not work but I promise I will try to find
out what to do.)
