We did not have time to check it out. The person who came to the 
installfest arrived late. He had an extended DOS partition set up 
with OS2 boot manager installed. When we tried to use the OS2 boot 
manager to boot, it told us that the partition was not formatted. 
This was probably the way he had it configured. In the past, I had 
used LILO and LOADLIN successfully.
