- I'll have a go - no OS booted from a primary partition can see the other
- primary partitions.
-
- If you want OS/2 to see your 9-meg FAT volume you could backup and re-fdisk
- specifying the FAT volume first, then the Linux partitions, then a
- logical partition for OS/2 - then restore the works.
-
- I think you need the Boot Manager to boot OS/2 from a logical partition -
- and the Boot manager only supports four partitions (including itself). You
- might be better off just leaving things the way they are...
