That makes (at least) two of us!  I'd like to see that partition table
before I accept 'smoke and mirrors' after having written both boot code
and disk drivers for DOS 6 lo these many moons past.  I'm at least
curious as to how OS/2 is gonna react ;-}

For Linda:  if I were you, I would take the 2 install diskettes out of
the Warp package you have, poke them in the floppy drive and boot from
them.  When the line at the bottom of the screen offers you the
opportunity, hit F3 to get to a command line and have a peek at the
detected setup - BEFORE you try and actually install to this
configuration.
