Does anyone have experience on the Multi-OS coexist and bootable?
I have tried to boot 4 OSs : MS-DOS 5.0
OS/2 2.1 beta
Windows/NT Oct. beta
UNIX ( 386bsd, BSD/386, Linux )
My experience:
A. DOS + OS/2 ok (by the HPFS), but the DOS partition can't recogized
by OS/2
B. NT + DOS ok (by the NTFS), and both DOS/FAT and NTFS coexist
C. OS/2 + NT + DOS failed (using os2 loader and nt loader)
D. BSD/386 + DOS ok
386bsd + DOS ok ( by the BOOTANY program), but it can create
only 3 partition
E. NT + UNIX or OS/2 + UNIX failed (by the loader and BOOTANY)
the NT and OS/2 can't recongize the invalied partition
Now I invitate any openion and detailed experience of booting the 4 OSs
in the same HD ( using AHA-1542B SCSI interface)
