Yep, I got it working last night. It works with a combination of Boot Manager
and shoelace.
0) make sure that your linux partition is type 129 (use pfdisk to create
it -- pfdisk is available for ms-dog now too)
1) get shoelace,
2) put 'shoelace' in the linux root directory and all the rest of the files
in /etc,
3) edit your /etc/config file for laceup/shoelace and change the 'boot' line
to point to your kernel file (/vmunix or /vmlinux or whatever)
4) run '/etc/laceup /dev/hdaX wini' (where hdaX is your linux partition)
5) quit linux and boot OS/2
6) run OS/2's fdisk and add the linux partition to the boot manager
menu.
Thats it! Have fun!
