This is a bad idea.  I often install more than one copy of OS/2 on a single
system, so that I can boot from an alternate partition for maintenance or
testing.  All of my test machines, for example, have two copies of OS/2 on
them selectable from Boot Manager, so that I can recover quickly from an
unbootable condition caused by a bad driver and also so that I can run the
debugging kernel on the test partition.

Kelly Schrock's idea of looking in the current environment seems much safer
to me, although it is still something of a kludge.
