I made an extended partition and installed Caldera DR-DOS 7.03 on it. And I
used a bootmanager called Extended-IPL (made by Takamiti Kimura 1997) which
marks selected partition bootable. Extended-IPL even boots OS without
checking validity of partition (whether 511th bytes of the partition is
0xaa55). I couldn't still boot DR-DOS from extended partition, my computer
is just hanging...
Then I learned from a manual of another bootmanager (OS Boot Select Version
2.0 Beta8) that "almost no operating system is able to boot straightforward
from a second, third, etc. disk" because "the most operating systems are not
prepared to do it".
Then I learned from SurvPC Survey -99 that there are a dozens computers with
more than one OS on it, DR-DOS being one among others.
How on earth do they do that?
Have I chosen the wrong boot-manager? Or am I just too stupid?
Help me!
Jack
