Do you have 2 IDE connectors? If your second harddrive is on your 2nd ide
connector you can't boot from it usually.

Example: If you have your windows hdd and a cdrom on your first ide connector, 
your os/2 hdd must be on the 2nd ide connector.

Try putting OS/2 on the first hdd in a second partition and turn a partition
on your 2nd hdd to fat32 for other windows programs.
