BEWARE OF OS-BS!!!

The latest version, which is version 2 beta 8, from memory, write to more 
than just the bootblocks of the first disk. The other sectors that it 
writes to are _usually_ unused by OS's like MSDOS, NT, Win95, etc. but I 
think you mentioned that your first disk is all unix. The latest os-bs 
would probably kill a few things for you.

I hope this doesn't reach you too late, or that you read the os-bs docs 
carefully enough.
