:   I have tried to boot 4 OSs : MS-DOS 5.0
:                                OS/2 2.1 beta
:                                Windows/NT Oct. beta
:                                UNIX ( 386bsd, BSD/386, Linux )

:   My experience:

:      A. DOS + OS/2 ok (by the HPFS), but the DOS partition can't recogized
:                                      by OS/2
:      B. NT + DOS ok (by the NTFS), and both DOS/FAT and NTFS coexist
:      C. OS/2 + NT + DOS failed (using os2 loader and nt loader)
:      D. BSD/386 + DOS ok
:         386bsd + DOS ok   ( by the BOOTANY program), but it can create
:                                                      only 3 partition
:      E. NT + UNIX or OS/2 + UNIX failed (by the loader and BOOTANY)
:                        the NT and OS/2 can't recongize the invalied partition

:   Now I invitate any openion and detailed experience of booting the 4 OSs
