Actually, it *IS* entirely true!
 FH> Dos must be on the primary bootable partition on the first hard
 FH> drive, (0)(C:). The OS/2 can be anywhere. Here it is the first
 FH> bootable partition on the second hard drive. (1)(F:). And F: is

 FH> the OS/2 FDISK. Also, room must be made on the first hard disk
 FH> for the Boot-Manager partition.
What you have described is a system using Boot Manager.  The original 
statement was regarding Dual Boot, an entirely different animal - Dual Boot 
and Boot Manager are not the same thing!
