MSDOS 6.22 problem

Only thing that I could think of was that the cd-rom/floppy drive was having difficulty being read during the install or the OS data you were installing was corrupt. The only time I've specifically seen problems with a devcon listing was with a pcisoundcard having trouble with power management, but that was under windows 2000 and probably not related to this.

Can we get some more information as far as when exactly the message comes up, and what happens after you select one of the options (Abort, Retry, etc.)?
If you hit F5 at the "Starting MS-DOS ..." prompt to bypass config.sys and autoexec.bat, doesthe system boot or do you still get the error? If not, reboot and press F8 at the "Starting MS-DOS ..." prompt to step through the config.sys and autoexec.bat line by line. This will help you to isolate which line is causing the error.
Good luck!

Device CON is the console....

Check your CONFIG.SYS file for a line looking something like DEVICE=CON.SYS and place a REM in fron of it, I think that will fix the problem.
