I seem to have a little problem. I had LWP up and running on OS/2 and everything was great. Then, accidentally, I managed to delete some files (I think in the root) and then reset the machine. (Long story.) Anyway, now when I boot OS/2 says "A kernel file is missing, please insert a system disk." Now, of course, I can't access my HPFS partition from DOS to fix the problem.
As I see it, I have two choices. Call mommy in Canada and tell her to Fed-Ex the OS/2 box down, or I can obtain an os/2 boot disk and try and undelete the files. So, if someone has an OS/2 boot disk, I would be much obliged for a copy. If you can use teledisk or some similar program to send it to me intact, I would appreciate it also. (So I don't have to try and construct a boot sector.)
Please, this is fairly urgent, as I cannot retrieve mail from DOS. I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am sure there is somewhere where a disk image could be temporarily sotred. (Bitbucket perhaps?) Thank you very much for any help you can give.
