How about using dual-boot? This allows both DOS and OS/2 to coexist
on the same drive and switching is accomplished via the "boot" command.
All it really does is swap in the appropriate loader (a hidden file) and
config.sys into the root directory and reboot. I've used it for a couple
of years now and am quite pleased with it.
