This is a well known problem with many clones.  I don't know what kind of BIOS
you do have, but I suspect it is oddball.  I didn't have any luck getting
either IBM OS/2 1.1 or 1.2 to run on Zenith 286 and 386 clones.  About all
you can do is wait for the clone manufacturer to release a version of OS/2 1.2
the will run on your computer.

I wouldn't mind hearing of a version of OS/2 1.2 that does run on a Zenith.
