I suspect Jordan's having a hard time understanding that today's hardware
in combination with eCS/MCP has absolutely no problem booting from any
location on a drive. Folks have been doing this since at least the
release of the first MCP, maybe before.

>D: 50 GB JFS for data
>E: 1 GB HPFS for eCS 1.0

I guess that puts you well beyond the so-call 8GB limit. :-)

Interestingly, if OS2LDR was a tad brighter you would not even need BM
installed to accomplish this. If one filled up the front of the drive
with logicals and put the primary at the end of the drive, it could boot
without BM. Unfortunately, BM puts the I13X signature in memory that
tells the PBR and OS2LDR that they can boot from anywhere, so even though
the hardware will support booting, the software might not.
