To do this you need the some sort of boot manager program. And not the
bloated piece of junk that comes with OS/2 either. Mark Williams wrote
one that fits in the 446 bytes before the partition table. This ships
with Coherent. (No comments I used to work there). Last time I
checked the standard DOS boot script couldn't boot from BIOS Drive #1
only #0 no matter what the drive type is set to in the BIOS.
