If you are responding to someone asking for help who

REPLY TO ALL feature of your email program.

You seem to be missing CDFS.IFS.
My config.sys has a line:

IFS=C:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /Q /W

Which seems to have been missed by BOOTOS2
for what ever reasons in your case.
CD-ROMS normally don't use HPFS, FAT, etc.
but their own file systems.
