- Sigh. I have a strange problem that probably has no easy
- solution. Due to some highly unpleasant hardware conflicts, I cannot
- have my two hard disks ( a SCSI on a cheapo host adapter, and an IDE)
- work together and still boot off of either of the hard disks. In DOS,
- my life isn't too difficult--I simply boot off of a floppy formatted
- with the system and other config files on it. Then I can go access my
- hard disks normally. Of course, OS/2 automatically boots -- I
- currently have it set up in the FAT arrangement with Dual Boot. I know
- there probably is no way around being denied access to one of my disks
- unless I can solve my hardware problems....but I figured I would let
- you wizards have a shot at this...
