You may have hit the HDD limits. What size did you setup using Fdisk? If 
above 4gb reduce down to 1-2gb load up OS/2 then if you have it resize using 
Partition Magic or similar. I think the max limit was 4gb within OS/2 v4 
without fixpaks. I would also suggest (if you can) is burn a new OS/2 v4 disk 
with the latest fixpak installed (#16) prior to running the install.
