If your system does not support LBA, you will need to partition regardless of 
what OS you use.  Tell you BIOS that the drive is one with 1023 cylinders, 63 
heads and I forget how many sectors.  Then use FDISK to create a boot 
partition within the 1023 cylinder limit, in most cases w/o LBA translation 
this will be 504 megs, far too big for a boot partition (mine are 150 megs 
for OS/2, 250 megs for WIN95).  After that you can have data partitions as 
large as you want, limited to 2 gigs for MSDOS, 9-12 gigs for OS/2.
Personally, I think its a bad idea to have your boot partitions mixed in with 
data partitions anyway, so generally it is good that the bios limits you to 
booting in partitions with > than 1023 cylinders, LBA or not.
My suggestioon would be to install bootmanger and 2 OS/2 boot partitions, and 
another partition for WIN95 or Linux.  If you don't have either of those, use 
it for DOS to hold it's place until you do get something else to play with.   
 Make the OS/2 partitions logical, and the DOS/WIN one primary.  Don't 
install OS/2 in a primary partition unless you have too, that way, you can 
always see your C: Primary Drive.
