and type in the command “CHKDSK x: /F” where x: is the drive letter of your boot
volume.
Q: I set the JFS cache size with the option /CACHE: in the config.sys to 512,000 KiB.
Why is my system unstable?
A: We recommend that you limit the JFS cache to a maximum of 128,000 KiB
depending on the amount of RAM that you have installed.
Q: I'm trying to run a DOS application and it does not work. It gives an error when I try
to open a file from the DOS application, or else the application will not even start. What
is wrong?
A: There is a problem with the JFS file system that prevents some older DOS
applications from functioing properly. We recommend that you create a HPFS partition
and install the application there.
Q: I am certain that my system works with APM.SYS to provide suspend and resume,
but APM was not installed. How can I resolve this?
A: The APM files are installed to your hard disk by default. If you are certain that your
system supports APM, add the following lines to your config.sys:
DEVICE=x:\OS2\BOOT\APM.SYS
DEVICE=x:\OS2\MDOS\VAPM.SYS
RUN=x:\OS2\APMDAEMN.EXE
(where x is the drive letter of your boot drive)
Q: I installed the IPX protocol to support a legacy Netware environment. Do I need to
add anything on my Netware install?
A: You need to add a file called NET.CFG to the root directory of your boot drive with
the following content:
NETWARE REQUESTER
PREFERRED TREE "DIX_HILLS"
CACHE BUFFERS 30
PACKET BURST OFF
LARGE INTERNET PACKETS NEGOTIATED
NAME CONTEXT "NEW_YORK.RR"
The keyword “PREFERRED TREE” is used if you use an NDIS Netware environment.
If you use binary only mode, replace the keyword “PREFERRED TREE” with
“PREFERRED SERVER”.
