Description
Originally reported via http://bugs.ecomstation.nl/view.php?id=3329 - opening a ticket here to centralize tracking.
Three different systems with just-under-2GB FAT16 partitions with OS/2 (command prompt mode only) installed as a maintenance + emergency boot partition. On all three systems, Air-Boot cannot boot the partition, even though (on at least two of the three, as tested) IBM Boot Manager could do so.
On selecting the partition in the Air-Boot menu, it attempts to boot followed immediately by SYS2025 (disk read error) and SYS2027 (insert system disk) error messages.
These partitions were created using BootOS/2 and/or IBM's SEMAINT. See the linked ticket for further details including debugging undertaken so far.
