Not sure about having to be within first 1024 cylinders, but it does
have to be on the first or second drive. I don't see a problem with
installing it on the second drive.

Hello,
just a simple question: are there requirements about where BM can be
located. If I remember correctly, in OS/2 you had to put it within first
1024 cylinders. At the moment I have XP taking up the first 10 G of the
hard disk and I know it doesn't like to be moved. Would it be a good idea
to install eCS on a secondary disk?

That is older limits, which are not a problem on modern hardware.
I have had BM as last partition on a 160GB driver without any problems.

Just put BM as last partition on disk, and you will be fine.
You can install eCS on any disk you like.

I have a T60 with an 80GB drive. As received XP was the first partition
and the recovery stuff was the last. I shrank XP down to 20GB and
installed BM as far to the end as possible - i.e just before the rescue
partition. No problems with it.

You may end up with problems when you have the extended partiton
between primary partitons.
Set up your harddisk like
primary
primary
primary
extended
logical drives
IBM bootmanager will be created on an empty room of a primary partiton
in size of exactly one zylinder. It does not matter if the free space
for that is on the place one can create the 1., 2. or 3. primary.
