Well, I know *I'm* confused now :-?

I'm trying to *avoid* the OS/2 Boot Manager, since that would require
major surgery to my disk partitions, and a lot of time restoring the 
Desktop from the existing configuration.  I'm hoping to leave the 
existing Dual Boot setup alone, and use the FreeBSD equivalent of 
Boot Manager to select either 1) FreeBSD, or 2) DOS-OS/2 (whichever 
was Dual-Booted last).

Is that a clearer statement of the question?
