  I guess that OS/2 boot manager uses some magic that I don't know
yet. Do you know if there is any free boot loader which can boot Win*
from an extended partition? If there is, we will be able to steal code
(or at least an idea) from it. (Note that I use the term "free" in GNU
sense here, that is, source code is freely available.)
