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...
