Sounds like the usual OS/2 brain fart. It should be fine in that situation
and is presumably just preventing you from doing what is OK. Maybe they have
some warped logic in mind like only allowing you to create a config which
will still work if you turn LBA off and the mapping doesnt change.

The simplest solution is to just have a partition which is below the
1024 cylinder limit, and in the process get the safety of having OS/2
installed on its own partition to minimise the risk to your data when
you install/upgrade etc OS/2 itself.

The other possibility is that its having the brain fart because its the
3rd IDE, and it treats that differently to the SCSI being the 3rd drive.
Only one way to find out, try that 1024 cylinder business and see.
