Boot Manager

OS/2 and eComStation require IBM Bootmanager unless the installation is to an active primary partition. In most cases, if there is more than one bootable partition on the computer IBM Bootmanager will be installed as a part of the operating system installation.

IBM Bootmanager requires a primary partition. This partition must be in the first 1024 cylinders of the disk for Warp 4 and Warp Server for e-business. For Convenience Pack and eComStation, the IBM Bootmanager may be anywhere on the disk.

Each hard disk has only four primary partitions. The extended partition, which holds all of the logical partitions, counts as one primary partition, leaving space for three more. Examine your disk, and see if there is a free primary partition for IBM Bootmanager, plus the partition you intend to install the operating system. If these are not available, the installation will fail.
