After that nightmare, the rest of the installation isn't too difficult.
Boot back into the installation media, and go through the menus again, disc swapping as needed.
#Now, instead of asking you to format the drive, it will ask whether you want to install to the volume we just created.
#:[[File:VolumeAsk.png | 300px ]]
#We will accept this volume.
#It will then ask whether you wish to perform a quick or "long" format. Pick quick. It also mentions which filesystems we will be able to pick, however with the size of our volume, we will have to pick HPFS. JFS is also available in some regard; you can press F1 for more info on that.
#It'll now format the partition, and then proceed to begin copying files.
#After that, the installer proceeds to install the installer.
The VM will reboot and proceed to system configuration.

We'll sort out the options from left to right.
#Firstly, set your country, and keyboard layout. Leave the mouse as is.
#Click the monitor under primary display, it should auto detect correct display.
#Under "Multimedia", add a SoundBlaster 16.

#Click next, you can ignore the extra hardware on this screen, so click next again.
#It's going to try to make you install a printer, if you have a compatible one connected go ahead and install it, otherwise select "Do not install default printer", and click next.
#Next, we get to the feature installation program. Go through each category and add what you want, however I wouldn't recommend removing anything unless you know you don't need it.
#After clicking next, we enter yet another installer, this is for installing devices and extra software.
#You'll now get to install some extra services, I'd recommend just the file sharing, tcp/ip services, and netscape communicator.
====Configuration====
We're now presented with a rather confusing configuration wizard so we'll go through step-by-step.
:[[File:NetCfg.png | 300px ]]
*File and Print Sharing Services can be left alone, you can change the workstation name and description however.
*Network adapters can be left.
*A User ID and Password must be set.
*Under TCP/IP, click DHCP and DDNS Server is available on LAN.
*Every else can be left alone upto network adapters. Clicking this option will open a dialogue box. You are looking either for Digital Semiconductor or Intel 2104x/211x Ethernet
**If this is not found in the list download [https://files.catbox.moe/cwpnnw.flp this] floppy disk image, mount it, and then select "Other adapter...".
**It should detect the driver on the image.
At this point it should all be configured, and you can proceed to click install.
===Final Configuration===
Now it's time to wait, after installing everything, the system will reboot and boot off the drive... to continue installing.
All the features (and web links) will pop up across the bottom.
After this, yet another reboot, but finally we can use the OS... never-mind.
A couple of dialogue boxes will open, so let's deal with them.
*Firstly, DDNS, which you can probably leave as the default, and just click configure. If that doesn't work, either configure it if you know how, or just click cancel.
*Next we can install additional features.
**I'd recommend selecting Java 1.3 in order to install "IBM Web Browser", which is newer than the included version of Netscape, as well as Flash and the OS/2 Toolkit.
**These installations take place one after another. You need to insert the OS/2 Boot CD when prompted.
***Note that the Java 1.3 installation uses a html based installer, and uses netscape. Therefore the netscape config wizard will also open.
Once this is all done you can reboot again.
Finally we can install Virtual Machine Additions for OS/2 via the "Action" Menu. This will install some drivers to allow better mouse support and shared folders.
*To access the installer after inserting the image click the little PC icon, and right-click "Drive D", double-click the OS2 Folder, and then open "os2inst.exe".
*:[[File:VMAInst.png | 300px ]]
*Once installed, reboot again, and installation is finally complete!
