I might try testing this out on the drive I recently added to a system for
testing.  It should be a fairly simple matter to write an FDISK to do this
type of partitioning.

The test will be when I see if OS/2's FDISK chokes on the newly-partitioned
drive.  If it does, it'll be necessary to duplicate it's functionality,
which may be a bit tricky in the Boot Manager arena.
