: If all that is requires is the OS/2 bootmanager, it would probably be cheaper 
: to buy Partition Magic (which includes it).

: System Commander might also do what is wanted (with fewer partitions needed).

Or one of those cartridge drive things, such as (this is not an
endorsement) a Zip drive. Can Linux boot off a SCSI Zip? Don't see why
not...
