Case: Partitioned Removabel Media (PRM) non LVM System Boot to WPS - Conifg.sys

I have been closely following your activity on getting OS/2 to boot on a USB drive. After reading your progress on http://p2066.typo3server.info/wiki-usb-boot-en.html I have been able to get an Apacer 512MB USB drive to boot to WPS both on a A31 Thinkpad and a non-IBM workstation.

As you point out it is all about the DANISASD parameters. It will work if you have less drives, but not if you have more. So on the laptop where I have four logical drives, it will work with

BASEDEV=DANIDASD.DMD /BD:D /MT:Aa
 or
BASEDEV=DANIDASD.DMD /BD:E /MT:Aa,Ab
upto
BASEDEV=DANIDASD.DMD /BD:G /MT:Aa,Ab,Ac,Ad

but with
BASEDEV=DANIDASD.DMD /BD:H /MT:Aa,Ab,Ac,Ad,Ae
 it fails.

Therefore, as the number of partitions on the HDD, or the number of HDDs change, there is the need to change the DANIDASD parameters. If you can work out a way to do it without DANIDASD, it would be great.
