Grub would > boot from Linux extended partition( not dos extended partition). I have GRUB boot from the i386-FreeBSD partition which is the first on the disk.

Getting it to boot 8 OS-es is not as far as I got, because I've not started experimenting with extended partition. I've got 3 primaries, 1 extended. --WjW
