Griggs) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: BSDI v2.1 and OS/2 Warp Boot Manager? Date: 12 Apr 1996 03:43:00 -0400 Organization: Milkyway Networks Corporation Lines: 8 Message-ID: <4kl1i4$2uq@ananke.milkyway.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ananke.milkyway.com Greetings, I'm attempting to help a colleague set up a Pentium 100 with an adaptec 2940 to run both Windoze95 and BSD/OS v2.1. He has decided to use the BootManager from OS/2 Warp to select which OS to run at boot time (it's got a nice menu and a timeout and stuff). We're having a devilish time getting BSD/OS and the BootManager to co-exist - it looks like BSD/OS confuses BootManager's idea of what the active partition is. My question is: Is what we're attempting to do fundamentally sane, or is there really no chance we'll ever succeed? Any advice and suggestions as to how to get this going would be much appreciated. Cheers, John Griggs
