I have a 1 gig SCSI with Boot Manager at the end. The front partition is
a primary with NT 3.5 on it. Then a Primary with Dos/win on it, a logical
with some Dos files, then another logical with OS/2 2.11 booting from it,
then a Linux native logical parition (add to boot manager at the time you
create the partiton under OS/2), followed by an HPFS partition with Warp
on it (again logical), followed by two more logical partitions setup as
Linux swap partitions (both logical). So with 3 primaries, and 6 logical
partitions I am booting 5 OS's, _all_ under the control of BM. Works fine
have had no problems whatsoever. I use and develop under everything
except NT (still in toy mode on it) so I know they are all working
correctly. Needless to say I am quite happy with the setup, except I have
no space left on the drive...
