Always read the on-line documentation before posting.  As it says under "Dual 
Boot" in the Help Index in your Information folder (in the Assistance 
Centre), Dual Boot requires that both DOS and OS/2 be on the active primary 
partition on your first hard disc drive.
For the above situation, you require Boot Manager.  Unfortunately, you should 
have installed this at the time that you partitioned your first hard disc 
(since it requires its own partition).  You can either back up your first 
hard disc and then repartition it (OS/2's FDISK has an option on its menu 
"Install Boot Manager", which, obviously enough, installs Boot Manager), or 
you can buy Partition Magic for OS/2 version 3.0 and use it to shrink your 
existing partitions and install Boot Manager.
For information on Dual Boot and Boot Manager, such as how they work and how 
to use them, read the Troubleshooting book in the Troubleshooting folder in 
your Assistance Centre.
