I always approach LVM with trepidation.
Anyhow, I did use LVM and change the volume from E: to C:, and I can now
boot into eCS.

In the process, I had to change my existing C: to something else, and that
made System Commander unavailable. So now I can use Boot Manager, but that
doesn't allow booting from Drive A:. So now I have changed the system BIOS
to I can boot from a floppy.

OK, my question now is:
eCS seems to boot up and run, but my system sounds are screwed up. That
is, they keep repeating in a continuous manner. I can try and trouble
shoot this, or I can just bite the bullet and reinstall eCS.

I think I would rather face a root canal than having to reinstall eCS from
scratch.
