Hi Linda,

Because it can't be done. Dual boot (sometimes incorrectly, but
appropriately, called "Duel Boot") installs OS/2 on the C partition
alongside the existing DOS/Windows install. To install OS/2 on any
other partition requires the use of Boot Manager.

Best way?. I would suggest creating space on the Primary (Master)
drive for a minimum sized partition (usually at the start - but within
the first 1024 cylinders) and install Boot Manager in it. The space
can be created with Partition Magic (Commercial software from
PowerQuest) or there are freeware/shareware programs available (sorry,
no names - I have Partition Magic).

Method:
1) Create space for minimum partition.
2) Boot from install disks.
3) Select advanced install
4) Enter FDISK and install Boot Manager & set the required partition
installable
5) Continue install

Note: You will have to have the D partition formatted FAT to prevent
the drive letters changing when booted to DOS.

SCSI CDROM is handled by OS/2. SCSI ZIP disk I'm not sure about, but
Iomega have drivers if they are needed. I don't know if the parallel
SPARQ drive is supported.

Maintenance upgrades are called "Fixpaks" by IBM. For Warp 3 fixpak
40 is a good one. They are available on the Inet from IBM, some BBSs,
and are sometimes put on some magazine cover CDs (certainly one mag in
the UK puts them on every so often), and on CD from Indelible Blue
Inc. (who make a small charge to cover production costs).
