Has anyone used either of them > and OS/2 Boot Manager, and would like to comment? I use both the OS/2 boot manager and OS-BS. On my first HD I have a partiton with OS/2 boot manager, a primary partition for DOS, a primary partition for Lose95, and an extended partition with a logical drive for OS/2 (HPFS) and a small FAT partition. My second drive is part HPFS and part FreeBSD swap. My third drive is FreeBSD. I couldn't get OS/2's boot manager to boot the third drive, and OS-BS wouldn't reliably set the 'active' partition on the first drive. Soooo, on booting OS-BS comes up with FreeBSD or "other" as it's choices (the first being the default, with a 5 second delay). "Other" invokes OS/2's boot manager allowing me to boot OS/2, DOS, or Lose95 (the latter only when someone has a gun to my head :}). > I am loathe to try experimenting with a working system. Usually turns them into non-working systems, doesn't it? :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@diamond.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include <std_disclaimers.h> for my PGP key.
