In my setup the disks are setup in this manner.
Hdisk0 [Quantom 1.2 Gb] :
OS/2 Boot Manager / MSDos {fat16} / Win95 {fat16}/ FreeBSD
Hdisk1 [Maxtor 5.1 Gb] :
OS/2 {Hpfs} /Extended Partition ( made up of a mixture of Hpfs,
fat16 and fat32 logical partitions and some free space).
I do have intentions at a later date of switching the two hard
disks arround and making the Mator Hdisk0 and the Quantom
Hdisk1. This would require reloading all the OS's. This is time
consuming and I don't have all that time at the moment.
