I have verified and confirmed a problem with OpenDOS that M$DOS
doesn't have - OD won't boot from a second partition.
M$DOS doesn't care as long as the partition is primary and bootable,
but when I try OD on it, it hangs with the message "Can't load DOS
file."
However, OD boots successfully from the first partition on the hard
disk, and M$DOS does so from EITHER one. So, wherein lies the
problem?
I have posted previously on this, and was ignored by all but one
person, and that person seemed to be condescending (although I may be
wrong). He stated that I should try a boot manager, to which I
responded that I HAVE one, and I sent him a(n) (old) copy. It
happens to be freeware, and can be obtained from:

Please respond only to the list or to me personally, since I will
receive both.
Thanks to all...
