from Joerg Dietze:
with PTS-DOS on Your C: drive You can boot a OS from any drive in
Your machine, all You have to do is install the OS at the drive You
want, save the boot sector to a file and set up an entry in config.pts
file. Documentation from PTS-DOS says this will be possible with POSIX
like systems, too. I also was to start the OS/2 bootmanager to boot
OS/2.
(end of quote)
Could you start OS/2 from PTS-DOS without going through OS/2 Boot Manager?
Would it work from floppy as well? I've wondered about how to boot OS/2
full-function from drive A, as might be needed if the MBR has been corrupted.
This is much easier with Linux, type 'mount root=/dev/hda6' (or wherever the
root partition is) at the 'boot:' prompt.
Could you start Windows NT or 2000 from PTS-DOS?
