In all honesty, I kept OS/2 on a FAT drive for about 5 years, for just that
reason (really).  At the time I didn't have the drive space for a maintenance
partition, so when OS/2 refused to boot (for whatever reason) I'd simply boot
DOS and fix things up.  Booting from OS/2 floppies was rarely an option at the 
time.

Well, essentially, to do things I was unable to do while booted from OS/2
floppies.  With the more recent flood of good OS/2 utilities, I no longer find 
it necessary, but at the time I sure did!
