- I have a two disk setup. The first scsi (0) has OS/2; the second
- (1) has SVR4. I used boot manager to add both partitions to the
- boot menu. I'd like to select with system comes up.
-
- I've gotten this same setup to work fine on a single disk system,
- but when trying to boot off SCSI ID#1 (the second disk which has
- a bootable UNIX partition on it), I get the error:
-
- boot: No active partition on disk
-
- Now, the second disk will boot if I remove the first (boot manager
- is on the first SCSI disk) disk and is listed as a bootable partition
- under the OS/2 fdisk setup. Why won't it boot from boot manager?
-
- If someone could help me out with this, I'd GREATLY appreciate it.

- Thanks...
