I just got some dual boot software from someone here on
campus. It supports dual OS/2 and DOS booting including HPFS
partitions, but unlike anything else I have seen you don't need
to do any mucking around hacking boot sectors or other files.
You just run the menu driven installation program (very slick),
tell what systems you want on your boot time menu (oh yea, it
also supports any other OS like unix and different versions of
DOS and different config.sys and autoexec.bat) and then reboot.
Every time you boot you get a menu and you then pick the OS
configuration that you want. The software is beta, but I have
not found any problems with it. If you want more info E-mail me
and I will pass the request on.
