SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION

    Check the CONFIG.SYS, user has edited this file and instead of
    putting " REM " for remarks out the statement, user put a non
    alphabet characters.  For example, instead of the following:
    REM basedev=ibm1s506.add
    user has put
    ;basedev=ibm1s506.add  (a semi-colon " ; ")
    This above will result the c0000005 error on disk #1.

DETAILS OF RESOLUTION

    Make sure the user does not use any non alphabet characters for
    any statements on the config.sys.
    Under OS/2, everytime a statement needs to be REMarks out,
    user REM instead of ";" or non alphabet characters.

Notes

Trap c0...05 is not only raised when config.sys does include non alphabet characters but also when the user mistyped a keyword.

Example: I added the line

   BASEDEF OS2CAM.ADD

for my NCR SCSI controller, obviously mistyping the keyword BASEDEV. Warp raised a trap c5 (and my hairs :-)
