The MS-OS/2 that came with (at least) the 1.1 SDK was a "boot time" 
choice utility.  You run it (from a DOS formatted diskette) after 
installing OS/2 and it installs itself for execution on every boot.
A default and a timeout value are chosen.  The default system is run 
when the timeout occurs.  
This thing is very dangerous to run from any but a virgin DOS disk.  
I installed it for 1.2 EE but since I had upgraded to a 3 1/2 drive, I 
just copied the 5 1/4 dualboot stuff to a 3 1/2.  Turns out if you do 
not use a virgin dos disk it has a tendency to 1) fail to install (not 
too bad) or 2) Cross link you file system (catastrophic)!
