CD Boot/2 is a utility to enhance bootable OS/2 CD-ROMs so that when the CD-ROM is inserted into the drive, a menu is displayed immediately after BIOS has started booting from it. From that menu, the user has to press the spacebar to continue booting from the removeable media, or if the customizeable period expires, the boot process continues booting from the first harddisk instead.

This is helpful if you want to create a single bootable OS/2 installation CD-ROM (in contrast to the 2 CD-ROM based solution IBM ships with Aurora, Aurora and Merlin Convenience Pack) and still don't want to manually take care of removing the CD-ROM during the subsequent reboots during OS/2 installation.

You can also use it to enhance FAT-based non-OS/2 bootable diskettes (like e.g. DOS, WIN9x, WIN NT, W2K) with some limitations.
