	You will have to install boot manager.This program comes with OS/2;it 
must have its own primary partition (1Meg) and the partition must be the first
one on the disk.When your system boots, instead of starting an operating system,
it starts boot manager.Boot manager presents you with a menu that lists all the
OSs on your system.You then choose the OS that you want to go into, and then 
boot manager starts that OS.
	Suggestion: install boot manager, then DOS, then OS/2.
Check the OS/2 manual.I don't know about Warp, but OS/2 2.1 has an installation
guide that tells you all you need to know about installing OS/2 and boot manager.
