I am using IBM's Boot Manager coming with OS/2 Warp. I don't now if it
is the same as you. But I am also using bteasy coming with
FreeBSD. The two cohabits well. First I boot from bteasy, then if I
choose slice 1 (F1), I boot on OS/2 Boot Manager. I must do that
because OS/2 Warp is installed on an extended dos partition which is
not recognize by bteasy. Therefore FreeBSD partition is not recognize
by OS/2 Boot Manager. So the two are essential for me. But if someone
has a better way to solve this problem, I am listening...
Christophe.
