- Coherent does NOT know of HPFS, you have to stick with the FAT for your
- primary DOS / OS/2 partition. But you can put OS/2 in a logical drive
- in your extended partition with HPFS and use the primary (the only Coherent's
- DOS-programs know to deal with) for file transfer.
-
- If you install Coherent, you have to use the master bootstrap, because the
- OS/2 bootmanager is not able to boot Coherent. The masterboot does not
- interfer with the bootmanager, you can use both.
