At this time OS/2 Warp is not supported. It is a very old OS and i dont think it will ever be supported for EasyBCD. Sorry.

Mak: Ermm, actually OS/2 is fully supported with EasyBCD.

EMD2 corp. wrote a guide on using EasyBCD to boot into OS/2, you can see it here:

Not many people realize that OS/2 was alive and "well" until very recently!

Well yes i would be one of them. I remember hearing about OS/2 back in the early days of OS development. Back when IBM used to rival with Microsoft and Apple. It was strange to hear of this. Thank you for the info.
