Hello!

I am attempting to run OS2 2.1 & NETBSD on the same PC. I have OS2 on 
drive D: (120meg) and NETBSD on C: (80meg) and BOOTMANAGER on C: with 
BOOTMANAGER set up to use the first 1meg of dive C: for itself.

NETBSD will allow me to specify the offset that I want it to start its on 
partition at. However NETBSD when formatting its partition keeps writing 
over theh BOOTMANAGER partition and as a result I can only load NETBSD. 
OS2 never even gets the chance to run.

ANY help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Brian
