Du 'står af' bootprocessen, når den såakaldte blob viser sig i øverste venstre
hjørne ved at trykke Alt-F1 og herfra akommer du til en kommandolinie-OS/2.
Om problematikken skrev den meget kendte Daniela Engert i NG comp.os.os2.misc.

"Rule of thumb: any drive letter found at a proper place in a valid WPS
object is adjusted by the WPS if the object in question is targeted to
another drive letter. Of course this doesn't include data stored in the
OS/2 INIs which are *not* WPS objects (some software stores pointers to
themselves there).
So, the basic operation of moving an existing desktop to another drive
letter is *move* the "Desktop" tree from the source drives object to the
target one. If the target drive letter doesn't yet exist, create it
beforehand. Then reboot to a command line window only (no WPS started!)
and issue "XCOPY source: target: /H /O /T /S /E /R /V". This moves the
rest of your boot drive to the new target; don't forget to adjust
CONFIG.SYS. If required run "SYSINSTX target:" to make the new target
drive bootable, You may need to add the new target to your favourite
bootmanager as well.
If you need to transplant a desktop to another location, save away
\OS2\OS2.INI, \OS2\OS2SYS.INI and the full \Desktop tree including *all*
extended attributes. This needs to be done without PM active! Restore
the mentioned items to the new target and you're done...
Using these operations I migrated several OS/2 2.1, Warp3 and Warp 4
installations to several new drive letters (D: -> E: -> F: -> ...),
changed the underlying hardware and disk drives quite often, cloned
existing desktops or full installations to new target drive letters (for
testing purposes), and on and on...
No magic, just basic WPS features are involved.
Ciao
Dani"
good luck
