Are you sure? I'm sure that I read somewhere that you can only have one
primary partition active on each hard disk simultaneously. I've seen:
primary DOS
primary OS2
primary OS2 bootmanager
but OS2 boot manager disabled either the DOS or OS2 partition depending
on the startup selection. Just curious..
