Something is running. You have OS/2 booted and it has the drive locked.

How did you get this to display? Did you use Alt-F2 or do you have an
AltF2on.$$$ file? If so, this tends to indicate something changed wish
respect to your CD-ROM drive.

If you are using a sufficiently new kernel, you can use Alt-F4 to single
step through config.sys.
