I want to install FreeBSD into a DOS logical drive, which could be
booted through the OS/2 Boot Manager, but I see that there is no
code in the appropriate places to recognize extended partitions/
logical drives. Is anybody considering this work? Or has it been
tossed as too much effort? I don't have any more primary partitions
on my main disk...

Thanks,
Alan Peckham
