Far from an expert on BootEasy, but I believe that by depressing F2 you are
trying to boot from the second partition on the first drive (NTFS) rather
than the second drive. Try (as I recall) F5 to shift BootEasy to looking
at the second drive...
Other messier options include switching the boot using BIOS, or modifying a
boot floppy to have a default of 0:wd(1,a)kernel (c.f. 'man boot_i386')
