Rumor has it that OS/2 has its own style of boot record (i.e. screwed-up),
and that another OS is not supposed to mess with it.  This leaves you with
the options of asking OS/2 to remove itself (another rumor says that this is
possible), or having to (at least) start the format operation, which should
clear the boot record.  Note that I am only the messenger: I haven't had
the misfortune of ever seeing OS/2 in operation.
