When I install OS/2 on my 4th drive (in a FAT partition below the 500 meg
limit), it installs the first 7 disks or whatever, and then reboots.  After
the reboot, it says "no operating system, system halted" or
whatever.  I think that is a sign of the special "reboot this
partition" command not working rather than the system being unable to
boot off the 4th drive.

Because, after I reboot after that message, through boot-manager, I do get
the OS/2 logo etc, it's just that when it's loading it then says "OS/2
can't read the disk".  I probably should have described that symptom
more fully.

Anyway, Linux is also installed on a partition below the 500 meg limit, and
it is now booting cleanly, via boot manager. Now I'm on to the next problem
with Linux - why does it recognize my CDROM if I boot via floppy, but not
when I boot via hard disk?! I think it's to do with different kernels, but
I'm still investigating.

BFN.  Paul.
