OK. That makes sense. The message your are getting from the SymBIOS
driver actually happens long after the driver loads. This has to do with
the gory internal details of how drivers boot. The reason OS/2 can't
operate the drive is because the LVM component can't find a drive to
operate. That's why I told you to verify that the LVM data was set up
correctly.

No. Just make sure you only have one copy that can be found. When
loading BASEDEVs, the kernel looks in \OS2\BOOT \OS2 and \. With Warp4
and eCS it's best to have them all in \OS2\BOOT. It's just easier to
manage.
