That turns out to be not entirely true.
Dos must be on the primary bootable partition on the first hard drive,
(0)(C:). The OS/2 can be anywhere. Here it is the first bootable partition on
the second hard drive. (1)(F:). And F: is formatted as HPFS. The os2 boot
partition must
be set up using the OS/2 FDISK. Also, room must be made on the first hard
disk for the Boot-Manager partition.
After the system checks, the Boot-Manager asks what os I want to boot into.
It defaults to OS/2, my choice.
Works fine here.

Finn
