************************************************************
* Part 3 - Sightings or Errata with this release
************************************************************
Installing fixpack 10 on 810 systems in the VGA mode may
experience a problem where the system appears hang during
the blue "OS/2 Warp" screen. The cause of the deadlock
appears to be an incompatible disk driver ibm1s506.add.
Installing this driver from fixpack 5 manually seems to
solve the issue.

When upgrading to a new level of silicon and  or BIOS, 
it is important to reinstall the driver. 

When installing on Warp 3, a trap in SVGA.DLL is experienced
if setup is invoked from a: prompt. See readme for
installation instructions
