I use OS/2's boot manager and it works like a charm.  I partitioned a 400 meg 
disk drive into two equal 200 meg drives and installed OS/2 with boot manager 
on one partition.  I then rebooted and installed Win95 on the second 
partition.
Win95 took out the boot manager, so what I did was use the install diskettes, 
and rebooted OS/2 and reinstalled the boot manager.  Now you can boot either 
OS/2 or Win95.  Both OS/2 and Win95 are seen as being on drive C:, and they 
don't interfer with one another.
I hope you weren't talking about dual boot.
