Install OS/2 first following OS/2 instructions AND INSTALL BOOT MANAGER PARTITION as you need BUT make sure you make a partition boot partition for (nt) after you install OS/2 install (nt)in the other partition and it will tell you that it will turn off boot manager but it will also how to turn BOOT MANAGER BACK ON AGAIN FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFUALLY AND IT WILL WORK. I have this installed on (6) different machines varying from 486 2/66 to a K6 2/500 and no problems except normal Windoze bugs in windoze.
Please E/MAIL for more help. I will be than happy to assist you. However Remember OS/2 RULES
This doesn't work if you've got a large drive and are trying to run NT 2000 and Merlin. NT 2000 corrupts the boot manager information area each time it start up. I called IBM about it and was told "unoffically" that BootManager is old and that using PowerQuest BootMagic would give me better results. I still trying working on it.
On the positive side, I've used the OS/2 boot manager on 4 gig drives for years and never had a problem with it.
