Subject: OS/2 and Linux ?
Date: 30 Jul 1992 02:36:26 GMT


        At the moment I have just installed Linux 0.96c
and have it booting from hard disk. I followed the recent
installation instructions and now have a problem.

On the machine I have OS/2 DOS and Linux, before I put Linux on
the machine would start with the OS/2 boot manager and you select
which partition you want to boot from.
        Now Linux wini starts and indicates boot: and you select
which partition you want to start from. OS/2 is only available from
the boot manager and if you select it, you get the boot manager anyway
and still have the option of booting DOS OS/2 and Linux (redundant booting!).

        In other words it is like having TWO boot managers at start up
The Question is ?
        How do I fix it so I only start with the OS/2 boot manager
and still be able to boot Linux without problems?
        
        All replies greatfully appreciated.
        Regards
         David
