This page gives a very explicit and lucid explanation of a problem specific
to Fedora. Can someone point me at an equally detailed and clear explanation
of how to install SUSE v9.2 on a machine that is already running OS/2, using
the already existing OS/2 Boot Manager?

If it matters, the machine has a single HD, which has been partitioned to
compatibility volumes with OS/2's LVM. I can easily make plenty of HD space
for SUSE.
