I had a similar problem.  My first drive was 1G (<1024 cyl) and my
second was 9G (>1024 cyl) and OS/2 Warp wouldn't see the second drive.

To install Warp, I had to continuously select "return error to
program" to tell it to avoid the second drive (I now have a program
that changes the partition types on the second drive temporarily, to
keep Warp away from it).  Once Warp is installed, you need to download
and apply Fix Pack 5 from ibm (http://www.ibm.com/ has it).  Once this
patch was installed, Warp could see the big drive.

This, of course, won't help you *install* on a drive >1024 cyl.
