Hi Kris,
I am obviously missing something here.  All Microsoft products
must boot from C:\ but OS/2 is not restricted thus and, for
example, my own system boots Dos 6.3/Windows from FAT C:\ and Blue
Spine Warp 3 from HPFS F:\, using Boot Manager in a 1meg primary
partition (which is not, however, allocated a drive-table letter).
Why would anyone want to use dual boot anyway?
