Subject: Plan9 & OS/2 Boot Manager
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 1995 17:11:46 -0400

I am trying to setup Plan9 on my machine which has OS/2 Boot Manager.  I 
currently have a DOS parition and a Linux partition.  I followed the 
steps outlined in the documentation for setting up the PC distribution 
(20 megs) of Plan9.  However, for some reason the Disk1 is setting itself 
up on the floppy instead of on the partition I left available for Plan9.  
I am NOT trying to make Plan9 part of OS/2 Boot Manager.  According to 
the documentation, the DOS partition is supposed to be formatted and 
space is supposed to be left for Plan9.  If anyone has any idea of what 
the problem may be or if anyone has gotten around this (in any way) 
please let me know!  The only thing I would like is to maintain my DOS 
and Linux partitions and, if possible, not to have to delete my Linux 
partition.  The DOS one has been mutilated already.  

Thanks for all your help!
Mike
