RE: same partition booting



I think it's a little simpler using OS/2's boot manager. You set up several 
C: partitions & choose between them. Keep your data & apps on a D: 
partition.
I've done it with OS/2 & MSDOS.

I don't see how OS/2 won't work.  And you can still use Linux with the
UMSDOS fs, but it isn't supported.
