Wow, you seem to have deleted most, but not all, entries for 
DOS/WINOS2, and some other things. I think I understand what you 
are trying to do, but it is obvious that you really don't understand 
what the results are.

Your CONFIG.SYS is so messed up, that I am surprised that you 
can boot, at all. A lot of the REMs really don't make much sense. 
My best suggestion, is start over, with a normal install, then start 
deleting things, one at a time, to be sure that you don't break 
something (breaking something may not be obvious, until something 
else goes wrong). Still, if it does what you want it to do, I guess you 
should use it that way.

It appears that you have defined two NICs. The ancient 
PCNTND.OS2 driver is for an old 100 Mbs NIC. I suggest using the 
network driver for the Intel 1000 Mbs NIC (the first one in the list 
works well). BigIcons are also not necessary. If you don't want 
those things, deselect them in the installer. Randomly REMing lines 
in CONFIG.SYS is not the best approach.

The line:
SWAPPATH=C:\OS2\SYSTEM 256000 256000
is not a good idea. It says to create a SWAP file of 256000 K bytes, 
and stop allocating disk space when there is less than 256000 K 
bytes left on the disk that contains the file. The maximum size is 
32000 K bytes, so the whole thing probably is rejected, and defaults 
are used (I am not sure what the defaults might be).

I don't have the time to analyze exactly what you have done, but 
the above sort of jumps out as being bad ideas.
