- I'm having trouble installing WNT. One problem is that I have to let
- OS/2 remain on a bootable partition. I know this is unsupported but
- I have no choice. I also only have 8 meg of ram. Will NT install with
- only 8 meg of ram? Here's what i did:
-
- - I partitioned the disk with a 1 meg primary boot partition, a primary 135 meg
- os/2 partition, and 2 135 meg extended dos partitions.
-
- - Installed os/2 with it's (flexboot) program.
-
- - Rebooted. Selected dos from os/2's bootloader.
-
- - Used dos2nt to install NT on C drive and edited the ini files.
-
- - Rebooted. Selected dos from os/2's boot manager, which brought
- up NT's boot manager. Selected NT...

-
- I seems to me like os/2 and it's bootloader is not my problem. Is it my
- memory or is it really the EISA configuration? Since dos and os/2 work
- correctly, I would think the EISA configuration sould work under NT.
-
- I know this is a bit of a kludge but could someone point out any invalid
- assumptions i have made?
