    What type of virtual storage controller did you configure in VBox?
    It seems that you either chose an incompatible one or missing a driver
    in OS/2.

    I used the defaults. VirtualBox says IDE controller with PIIX4 type
    using Host I/O Cache attributes.

    Hi

    You have not yet created a Logical volume is my guess.

    Press F5 to switch to Physical View and, if your drive appears, create
    the necessary Logical Volume.


    Regards

    Pete

    It only showed my virtual CD drive (OS/2 ISO).

    I also use PIIX4. But I am unsure whether IBM1S506.ADD supports this controller.

    I almost always used DANIS506.ADD. You could try a virtual Floppy to
    inject this driver during installation. AFAIR the installer asks for
    custom drivers at some point.

    Hmm, where can I get that? I'm using the v4.52 English ISO files from https://winworldpc.com/product/os-2-warp-4/os-2-warp-452.

    https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/?search=danis506&stype=any&sort=type_name&dir=%2F

    I am using eCS CDs. They are basically a patched version of 4.52 with additional software and drivers, on of them is DANIS506.
    But eCS is not available for free. (In fact it is dead.)

    Well, that screws that theory :-)

    You can find a lot of OS/2 software at https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/

    The latest DANIS506 seems to be https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/system/drivers/storage/danis506_1-8-15.zip

    You may get faster answers to questions by also posting on the
    os2world.com forums as not so many OS/2 users seem to read ngs these days...

    Pete

    This adds no value in a VBox VM.
