It is my understanding that you *must* (generally speaking) boot off of the first drive. Only when I ran the OS/2 boot loader was I able to get around this restriction..but this was several years ago. If you have modern bios it is possible to tell it to boot off of the second drive..though this is a cumbersome workaround. Anyone, If this has changed..please feel free to correct me ... Michael G.
