Any System Commander users out there?

I don't mind using Boot Manager, but I prefer System Commander for a
variety of reasons I won't go in to now.

I am having a conflict with Sytem Commander and eCS under Boot Manager.

Background:
SC will boot into Warp 4 and into Boot Manager without difficulty. On one
computer, I can boot from SC into BM and then into eCS. While SC shows
eCS, it can't boot directly into it -- can't seem to find it. Going
through BM is not much of a hassle, and it does the job.

Current problem:
On this computer, I have both Warp 4 and eCS. Logical Volume Manager
disables System Commander. When I boot, I get Boot Manager which shows
both Warp 4 and eCS.

If I enable System Commander, it then shows Warp 4, eCS and Boot Manager.
But, and here is the problem, in the Boot Manager listing, eCS is hidden.
It just disappears from the Boot Manager listing. Warp 4 is still there
(among DOS and some other things).

What I do:

I then boot into Warp 4, call up LVM, exit without changing anything, and
reboot. SC is now disabled and eCS reappears in the BM menu.

If I reenable SC, then eCS again disappears from the Boot Manager listing.

etc. etc.

I have been going around with V-Com Tech. Support. They said I had some
overlapping partitions on my hard drive. So I redid my partitions and got
rid of the "overlapping partitions" error message given by their Scout
utility. But still no change.

I may have to give up System Commander and go back to Boot Manager, but I
first wanted to know what, if any, experiences some other people may be
having.

Thanks,
Sandy
