ET> I'm skeptical about this with a true 2,8 MB floppy drive.


No need to be.
IBM1flpy.add supports the genuine floppy 2.8 format, so bootos2 will use an
entire 2.8 (on condition the bios supports that too ofcoz).
Albeit, I never had an 2.8 floppy in my eyesight anywhere <G>.

Incidentally, the 2.8 format is a life safer nevertheless. The eCS- GA will use
two virtual 2.8 floppy formats in order to boot from a bootable CD. Apparently
the only way to overcome the louzy OS/2 INSTALLER.
