OS/2 xcopy /h /o /t /s /e /r /v followed by sysinstx from the maintenance
disks should work for OS/2 (assuming the device drivers and types are the
same, the correct bios settings (for IDE/ATA/MFM/RLL/ESDI non-scsi etc)
Also the OS/2 boot program IS not the same as the DOS boot blocks.
Make a linux recovery boot floppy and reinstall lilo after OS/2.
Also, fdisk the partition USING the OS/2 fdisk -- not the linux one.
(The OS/2 fdisk and the OS/2 boot manager work great with FreeBSD/Linux
and allow you to boot lilo from the OS/2 boot manager)
Also, make sure the OS/2 boot partition is under the 1024 cyl range.

Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
