> I find this very hard to believe. The BootManager partition is a
You're more than welcome to inspect my PC, run the OS/2 installation
disks and reformat the drive. Then you can install DOS and see that,
once installed, when the machine is reset it bypasses the BootManager
partition and heads straight for DOS.
Actually, a friend of mine said that DOS actually removes a partition
such as BootManager deliberately, to get rid of other operating systems,
etc. I personally wouldn't put this pass Microsoft...
I'd realy like a solution to this problem, despite not having time to
correct it at the moment. I attempted the BootManager install described
as Example 1 in the manual (except with different partition sizes of
course..)
Incidentally, the manual does describe a recovery action to take should
the BootManager not appear, and that is to hit Alt-F1 when 'a small white
square appears in the top-left corner' (presumably, right after the BIOS
screen, etc). However, this DOES NOT appear on my system, and smashing
Alt-F1 with any degree of force does nothing :)
Thanks in advance for any support that you (or any other OS/2 Warp
fanatics who may read this message) can offer. I probably really should
call tech support and make those guys at the help desk earn their living :)

Okay, LiLo may not be the best solution, but I do recall seeing adverts
in DDJ or some such regarding a professional tool for developers who wish
to have multiple operating systems co-exist on their system (to test
compatibility, etc).
