Procedure:

Under OS/2, tell the boot manager the Linux partition as a booting partition (assuming here that Linux is on /dev/sda1) Now it is only necessary to make the Linux partition bootable.

For this, install the Linux boot loader LILO in the booting partition's root sector (in this case /dev/sda1). Declare a time-out of 0 seconds in the LILO configuration with YaST or YaST2. This way, it looks like LILO is not used at all when you choose Linux in the boot manager.

Install LILO now. The warning
/dev/sda1 is not on first disk
might appear during the installation. This can be ignored.
