- I'm pretty sure if you run the fdisk that came with OS/2 it will tell
- you that BootManager should be the first partition on your drive. Makes
- sence to me as the boot sector is track 0 . I have Os/2 and Linux setup
- here with boot manager and it does recognize Linux if BootManager is set
- up as the very first partition.
-
- What I did was install OS/2 first with BM and followed the instructions
- in the OS/2 manual for setting up multiple OS's on the box. Then I
- installed the 0.98pl5 SLS version. The Linux fdisk faithfully reported
- the correct partitions so all that was left was to mkfs and swap disks !
- :) It did take me three time though to get my brain working properly and
- get Linux on-line.
-
- Hope this helps some !
