You're not seeing drive C because you installed OS/2 on a primary
partition, which every piece of advice you've had argued against.

Only one primary partition per drive can be visible during any one boot.

6MB is pretty tight for something like OS/2.  I did install Warp 3 on a
PS/2 Model 70 with 6MB of RAM a while back, but I wouldn't even try
networking.  That's just not enough RAM.
