- - I was wondering if I could boot off of a second hard drive.
- - I have OS/2 2.0 installed in my 120 meg ide with only one HPFS
- - partition, but I would like to install linux to my computer.
- - The easiest way of doing this seems to be buying another HD.
- - So I'd like to install linux into drive d. Of course, drive
- - d would have to be flagged active since I would have to boot into
- - linux. Can Boot Manager boot into drive d? Thanks in advance.

- I've got Linux, Dos and OS/2 installed on my system in a system that
- works quite well. I do not have Linux on drive "d," but have no trouble
- with having OS/2 and Linux on the first drive and Dos on the second. If
- you simply tell Linux where your root partition is (/dev/hdb?), and set
- up LILO on that partition, it will work fine.
