hey everybody! thanks for reading this . i am trying to install os/2 warp 3 and windoze95 on a 486 laptop with a 2 gig hd. i have already partitioned the hdd, 1 gig for windows, the rest free for os/2. i tryed installing the os/2 booot loader, and the os/2 install gets up to disk 6, then reboots, with no bootloader, only booting into windoze.. i have added the windoze partition to the loader and the os/2 partition to the loader.. any help or info related to this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance

First, check that the boot manager partition
is set as "active". Boot Windows and go to a
command prompt. Run fdisk.exe amd check that
the boot manager partition is set with a "A"
next to it. If you do not see that 1mb boot
manager partition, then get the latest ibm1s5
06.add and os2dasd.dmd from ibm's device
driver website, update your install diskettes
try again.
