Well I will find out shortly when I put my linux CD
in. The way I am set up currently, I can boot from a
bootable os2 CD I made to command line and use os2
fdisk to make the first partition startable. Reboot
the hard drive and win98 comes up. From there I can
run the windows fdisk, make the second partition
active, then the next boot starts ECS again. My setup
with LILO was LILO code was on the linux partition and
I guess a little code on the first partition boot
record to point to the rest of the code. I have no
boot manager partition.
