Easiest with 2 hdd, more difficult with 1 hdd / partition esp if
OSR2 cannot use FAT32 : then both OS must use FAT16. I guess
1 must use different io.sys, msdos.sys & command.com .

OSR2 can use fat 32--it was the first Windows system with that
capability.

The easy way is to get a partitioning program so you can create a second
primary partition to load the second system to. The you will need a
boot manager so you can choose which system to boot. I use:

BootIt Next Generation is available from:
http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/ and it does partitioning, makes a
compressed image, does many other partitioning chores and is a boot
manager. It is not quite as easy to use as Partition Magic but it is
half the cost and has more features. Unlike the crippled PMagic demo,
BING is a *full function* demo you can try for free for 30 days. The
web site has a lot of support articles.
