Just a quick note. Boot Manager, contrary to many beliefs doesn't have to be
at the beginning of the drive. It will install in any free space available.
Beginning, middle or end as long as it is withing the 1023 cylinder limit.
Mine is between two partitions. I installed Win98 on a new drive. Then used
Partition Magic to shrink that darn 8.4gig partition down to 1 gig. Installed
BM and then created an HPFS partition to install OS/2 on. BM is the active
partition, and the other two are bootable.


Have a good day!!
