That looks OK to me.

General rule: the older the mainboard BIOS, the less new devices like big IDE
harddisks can be used.

The mainboard BIOS is only used to start loading OS/2, until the OS/2 drivers
take over. So OS/2 bootpartitions need to be within the first 1024 cylinders
of the harddisk.

DOS relies on the mainboard BIOS.
