- Yes, we're in the same situation -- we have a 40 MB DOS and a 120 MB 386BSD
- drive (both IDE). We have one of the boot partition selector program, but
- none of the kernels we have tried so far has worked off the second disk.

- We can't recompile the system at this point, so we're grateful for any
- pointers to kernels or other tools to help alleviate the situation.
