  A native AiR-BOOT installer is now available for various operating systems 
   Please note: If your operating system is not listed, you should use a     
                 bootable floppy/CD-ROM for installation.                    
                                                                             
                Also you SHOULD create a bootable floppy/CD-ROM for easy     
                 repair purposes anyway.

  OS2\SETABOOT.exe, a OS/2 SETBOOT replacement for use with AiR-BOOT.        
   It's supporting almost every commandline switch, but /X nor /N.           
   On the other side, it has a special switch called /XWP to automatically   
   migrate AiR-BOOT bootable partitions into XWorkPlace Shutdown menu.       
                                                                             
  SETABOOT needs to be accessible somewhere from PATH for XWorkPlace booting 
   to work.                                                                  
                                                                             
  AiR-BOOT supports IBM's OS/2 LVM. It will use LVM information for          
   identifying partitions and it's also able to change boot-drive-letters    
   on-the-fly during bootup. So if you want to make a full-working rescue    
   bootdrive, simply copy it over to another partition using xcopy and set   
   set the 'L'-flag on both partitions to the required drive-letter.         
                                                                             
  If LVM information is found for a partition, that information is used by   
   by AiR-BOOT (like the partition name etc.). If no LVM information is      
   found, AiR-BOOT gets the partition name from the boot record of the       
   partition (if possible). Changing the partition name will also change the 
   the partition name in the LVM information/boot record - depending where   
   it was read from in the first place.                                      
                                                                             
  Also please note that AiR-BOOT uses the PARTITION NAME of the LVM          
   information. Under LVM, there are partition AND volume names. There is    
   also Mini-LVM - used e.g. by eComStation installer - it will set BOTH     
   names. Please do not get confused by it.                                  
                                                                             
  AiR-BOOT will also modify LVM driveletters, if the 'L' flag is set on a    
   specified partition and that partition is being booted from. It will then 
   then become that driveletter and any partition, that was using it, will   
   get it removed.                                                           
                                                                             
  [v1.05] AiR-BOOT is now able to detect bootable JFS partitions. It's       
           required to set the partition id to 07h (IFS).
