If the second drive has only logical drives, the drive letters shouldn't
switch.  The drive letters get apportioned:

1st drive, primary partition(s)
2nd drive, primary partition(s)
1st drive, logical drive(s)
2nd drive, logical drive(s)

I don't know if it's possible to get OS/2 running with only a logical
drive (boot manager counts as a primary partition, although I dunno
if DOS or OS/2 will assign a drive letter to it).
