I would like to set up partitions as follows:

        C:      DOS
        D:      OS/2
                Linux
                Linux Swap
                Boot Manager

The boot manager should be able to boot into any of the three OSs. I've
followed the instructions and created these partitions under OS/2. I made DOS a
primary, OS/2 and Linux both Extended Logical.

The problem is that when I boot Linux and run FDISK, I can only see three
partitions: DOS (>32M), OS/2 Boot Manager and `Extended'. It seems to have
lumped OS/2 and both the Linux partitions into one chunk, and I can't change
the individual Linux partition to Linux Native.

What am I doing wrong?

Please reply by e-mail to:

Thank you for your help.
