If the disk had LILO on it previously, it is not quite that easy, either.  ;-)

I spent about an hour monkeying with the disk, trying to get it to boot
OS/2.  I finally gave up, and booted using the "inferior" MS-DOS that
comes with Win98SE.  I then used its version of FDISK to "take back" the
boot record (FDISK /MBR, which does not work with OS/2 FDISK).

I figured this meant starting all over from scratch.  However, somehow
that "gave" the boot record to OS/2 Boot Manager, and all is well.  ;-)
