I have a PS/2 50z that had a bad system board.  We got the
board replaced, I took my reference diskette with the token
ring option in it and ran autoconfig, and re-booted.

Now, when I power on, I get the message:
  DXMC0 11E:  DIR.INITIALIZE failed
              Error in Loading - Press F1 to continue

Pressing F1 results in unsuccessful an unsuccessful attempt to run
IPX, and eventually a C:\> prompt. 

Does anyone know where the problem most likely lies, or what I have
to do to track it down, before spending the $$ to call up a service
company?  If your answers can be put in cookbook form, I'd appreciate
it - I really don't understand all the functions of the various 
.SYS files.

Thanks a lot.
