Is their any know problems with trying to install the subject OS while
an OS/2 boot manager is active?  I have two harddrives a 1.2g and a
540mb... Im setting the second hard drive up for BSD however after
I go through all the motions in the install. Partitions, labels,
source from CD...ect  I do the big confirm and the process starts..
Its able to setup the FS and dirs then the screen sits for a half 
minute befor poping up a panic and informing me its going to reboot.

The box here is a P5 75, 32mb EDO RAM, ATI Graphics pro turbo 2mb VRAM,
PAStudio 16 sound with trantor SCSI, Plextor double spin SCSI.

The OS/2 boot manager is in a 1mb partition on the wdc0 in two
other partitions on same drive is OS/2 V3 & WIN95 all working 
fine. wdc1 540mb drive is good,  The partition I set up is under
the 1024th cyl.
