Lothar,

You MAY find this a little helpful:

It does not mention the OS/2 BootManager, but does refer to multi-boot
with Windoze.  I have not looked at it since it was first published
and, even then, I did not understand all that I read.

I would also like to see a modification to the steps above for eCS.  I
already have two eCS and the original 'Doze partitions in my BM.  I've
been afraid to try to add Ubuntu for fear of clobbering what now works
just fine.

Have fun!  ;-)
