I want to install MS-DOS and OS/2 Warp 3 in a dual boot configuration using Warp 3's Boot Manager.

The last time I did was in 1996, so my memory is VERY hazy.

I remember that there was a certain partition structure that needed to be prepared prior to the installation, if memory serves it was Boot manager, C: FAT16 Primary for DOS, D: HPFS Primary for OS/2 System then a Extended Drive for the rest, including FAT16 and HPFS Logical drives as needed for DOS and OS/2 Data.

The thing is, I can't remember the following:

1. Was this partition structure manually done during OS/2 Warp 3 install with FDISK or was it an automated part of the install?
2. Would Warp 3's FDISK be able to read and partition LBA disks, ie. my Seagate 8.4GB IDE Hard Drive?
3. Do I install DOS before or after installing the Boot Manager?

A good tutorial for this seems to elude me on the net.. Help would be most appreciated.
