Do you know what you are talking about? eCS ships with BOOTOS2 and
provides a menu option to install it.

Kim uses the name BOOTECS because he is trying to hide the OS/2 name.
Other than the name change the code is byte for byte the same. A partial
directory listing of \TVoice\WiseProg\BooteCS shows:

BOOTOS2.ABS 340 10/31/99 3:23p

If you read the BOOTOS2 documentation, you would know it supports LVM.
