OS/2 and Linux with OS/2 bootmanager

Conditions:

Procedure:

Under OS/2 you can declare to the bootmanager the Linux partition (I take to simplify things, that Linux is in /dev/sda1) as a booting partition. Add another name (Linux offers itself ;-)).

Now itīs only still necessary to make the Linux partition startable.

For this, one installs the Linux bootloader LILO in the booting partition's root sector (in this case /dev/sda1). At best, one declares in the LILO configuration, which you can settle with YaST, a waiting time of 0 seconds. It looks like, as if LILO wouldnīt be used at all, when you choose Linux in the bootmanager!

Install LILO now (from within the YaST menu). The warning
/dev/sda1 is not on first disk
might appear during the installation. However, one can feel free to ignore it.

After a reboot, one should be able to boot from the Linux's OS/2 bootmanager.

The proposed procedure is only an example (though tested). It should be possible too, to install OS/2 and Linux in the same hard disk.
