I currently run OS/2 2.0 GA+SP and OS/2 2.1 beta, booting
one xor the other with no problems.  There are times when
both (primary partitions on different physical drives) 
are available at the same time.  This is very usefull when
I fat finger a CONFIG.SYS file, but I don't do it as a 
rule.  I run HPFS.
