I do it. Not as much as I used to, but...

If I remember correctly this deals with adding Linux to an already
installed OS/2 partition. I used this some time ago, and it worked very
well.

OS/2 should install onto any drive you want. I have a few questions.
1. What version of OS/2?
2. How big is your new hard drive?
3. How is your first drive partitioned?
4. Have you replaced the appropriate files from the OS/2 installation
disks to allow it to see large hard drives?
I'm sorry I missed the first message, and I don't know that I can help for
sure, but I have installed Warp, NT, and Linux on one machine several
times. FWIW, I always put OS/2 on first, never on hda1. Let us know how
you're making out.
