I have not tried having an extended dos partition beyond the limit without an additional driver for the disk. Unfortunately, I don't have a convenient way to try it. The part about booting Linux from a small low partition has been tried with OS/2 Bootmanager, or just using loadlin15 and having it anywhere ( in my case on a third drive) has been done and verified. I've had a tough time getting OS/2 and DOS to allocate space past 1024. It could be that once these extended partitions are set up somehow, they can be used by dos. Best, Clarence
