That's how I have my system setup, my DOS is on C, my OS/2 on a partition 
on D, Linux on another partition on D.    
I had to create a partition with OS/2 fdisk, then load Linux, start 
fdisk, find corresponding partition (in this instance it will be one of 
hdb(x)).
use lilo to load Linux but when you're configuring don't select 'mbr' 
option.

you also have to add this partition to your boot manager from os/2 fdisk.

If you need any help in this email me on mike@geko.com.au or
