- There is no need to add the seperate OS/2 boot manager partition
- to the os-bs boot menu. Instead add the HPFS OS/2 partition to
- the menu, then you can boot OS/2 from the boot menu directly.
- (Maybe you must install the "set-active-before-boot"-option.)
-
- Unfortunatly there is only one way to reallocate the 1.5MB boot
- manager partition to another system: repartitioning (at least
- in particular) of the disk.
