- OS/2 partition must be set as LOGICAL (in this case: generally speaking
- tihs is not mandatory), since you can see only one primary partition at
- a time, and a bootable DOS partition must be a primary one. They can be
- all Logical partitions if you don't want to boot from DOS (? I'm not sure
- anyway...). Then you make OS/2 partition INSTALLABLE (if it is not yet)
- and... enjoy DOS-in-a-window with your FAT partition.... :-)
