The IDE disk has an OS/2 bootmanager that can switch between two partitions. I would like to keep the 3.11 partition but I added a SCSI disk and a 1542 controller so that the complete 2.2.2 could be installed. All the BSD is now on the SCSI disk. Any good suggestions of how to use use the bootmanager? Should I install a boot mgr. on both disks? Regards Niels Please make a CC to phce@image.dk Per speaking: I was stunned over the low tranfer rate between the IDE CD-rom and the SCSI disk. The transfer rate of the ports collection: 3-5 kb/sec. It's a 486/66mhz w. 16MB. Is that normal or do I/Niels have a bad SCSI controller? All diagnostics of the disk and 1542 are OK.
