>UpDateCD IS W4, so yes.

I suspect what you mean to say is that since you are updating a Warp4
system, the installable flag is required. UpDateCD supports much more
than just Warp4. Review the readme. IAC, I asked the question badly.

Lose the Desktop tree and restore everything. See my missive to Peter.
It's YMMV if you don't backup and restore a matched set.

>It seems that OS/2 requires BM for it to install. After some other OS

Not quite. The rule is either you install OS/2 to a primary or you must
have BM installed. SEINST enforces this, so there's not easy workaround.

This is true unless you run SEINST again.

>I didn't say it didn't have a reason. I am sure it a Win "feature".

It probably happens when WinXX or SC updates the partition tables. They
both know that large extended partitions must be in a type F EBR.

Dani does care. Her DaniDasd supports type F EBRs as do recent version of
IBMDASD.

>However, I have not been able to get boot

Repeat after me. It's the drivers I have installed on the floppies that
cause this.

>CONFIG.X seems to use DANI.

Only because config.sys used Dani when you last ran ARCINST or you edited
config.x by hand.
