I've recently installed my new development system. It consist of a 486, with two harddisks,
C: and D:. The C harddisk is configured with one partionion (DOS) and this partion is almost 
full. The second harddisk (D:) I am planning to use as a test drive, to look at things 
like OS/2, Linux, NT, NS486 and so on. 

Is there anyway I could use the D: drive as I wish and boot directly from it (without installing
multiple boot programs on C: - which usually requires repartitioning drive C, and therefore I
would need to backup 400MB++ onto floppies..)?
