Steven, Butch and all:

It's nice to see that Butch got through the FDISK process and installed
the OS/2 with a minimal of driver issues. After securing and installing
the drivers that Steven mentioned, there probably will be no further
bootup issues.

Butch may have to clean up the C:\OS2\BOOT\SNOOP.LST file, however, so
that he can select and use "Full Hardware Detection" feature of the
Hardware Manager (useful when one changes hardware).
