Return to The Config.sys Documentation Project Main Page

The Base Device Drivers are needed by OS/2 to install elementary services, like your hard disk, keyboard, etc. The Base Device Drivers are the first entries from the config.sys file that are loaded during the boot. They are not loaded in the same order as they appear in the config.sys file. They are loaded dependant on their file extension.

Here is the order of loading for the file extensions.

  • *.SYS
  • *.BID
  • *.VSD
  • *.TSD
  • *.ADD
  • *.I13
  • *.FLT
  • *.DMD

If the config.sys contains several files with the same extension, those files will be loaded in the order they appear in the config.sys file.

The Base Device drivers must be located in the root directory in the \OS2 directory or in the \OS2\Boot directory. If you set up a Base Device driver in your config.sys please use only the name of the driver without the path. The following pages describe these entries : :p.

BASEDEV=Aha152x.add

Driver for Adaptec Aha1522/1510 SCSI host adapters and the AIC-6350/6360 controller. 

BASEDEV=Aha152x.add parameter

Parameters:

  • /V
  • /F:x

TIP: If you are using an Adaptec SCSI Card you can also use BASEDEV=AHA152X.ADD /V /F:x to force the target SCSI ID x. The host adapter will assume that the target ID x is connected to SCSI Bus.

  BASEDEV=Ext2flt.flt parameter

Parameters:

  • /Q

Disable the messages shown at boot up.

  • /V

Displays some diagnostic information during the boot.

  • /W

This allows write access to the ext2 partitions. note: You must also enable the write access at the Ext2-os2.ifs driver.

  • /A

Virtualize all found partitions. If you use this option, you must also specify the /M option, otherwise OS/2 may crash. The only good reason to use this option is along with the /M option to control the mounting order of all partitions.

  • /M mount-order

Mounts the partitions in the order specified in the mount-order. The mount-order is a list of numbers separated by commas. To find out which number a partition has, use the program fdisk with the parameter /Query. It shows you a list of all partitions, number the first in the list with 0, the second with 1 and so on, but exclude the Bootmanager partition. The Bootmanager partition is the partition with the FStyp "0a". Type in the partition numbers in the order you like. If you want to hide a partition than you must simply remove the partition number from the mount-order.
