We have devised a restoration process using 4 diskettes; first two are the OS/2
boot diskettes which are machine dependent, then a diskette for TCP/IP, and
lastly a diskette that has ADSM.  The only drawback is that the first two
diskettes are basically created by trial and error.  Things like micro channel,
Pcmcia, other quirks will give you many flavors of boot diskettes.

Don't have answers for version 1 vs 2.

We also have disater recovery for AIX and SUN clients, but that is another
story.  If you have more questions....
