I cannot say emphatically that this holds true for Merlin, but it has for 
2.1/3.0 -- but Boot Manager must reside in a primary partition.  It is 
approximately 1MB, and if set active allows you to load any operating system 
installed in it's menu using OS/2's FDISK, or PM-FDISK program.  I believe 
that you can set it up at the end of freespace (I have always installed it 
first, then partitioned out the drive using the install diskettes for OS/2, 
formatted the OS/2 part HPFS to keep MS software from messing with it and 
hen
loading either Win95 or MS-DOS depending upon client wishes, culminating in a 
normal install of OS/2 after resetting boot manager as the active partition.)
