On my system I added echo statements to MPTSTART.CMD and
SETUP.CMD (called by MPTSTART.CMD) so I can monitor what's
going on during bootup. Both are in \MPTN\BIN\.

You can also execute echos from CONFIG.SYS by calling
CMD.EXE. Here ya go:

CALL=G:\OS2\CMD.EXE /C ECHO HELLO, WORLD

There's also a device driver named DELAY.SYS you can use
to monitor where in the boot process you are. Examples:

DEVICE=DELAY.SYS :00 Beginning of DEVICE=*.SYS driver loading.
DEVICE=DELAY.SYS :00 End of DEVICE=*.SYS driver loading.

I think it's on Hobbes as DELAYD.

ECHOing from a BASEDEV is a problem -- my understanding
is that the boot process queues all BASEDEV messages and
displays them en masse when BASEDEV processing is completed,
thus you can't see where you are in the BASEDEV loading
process if something isn't working.
