All three OS's are on seperate= drives. My win98 drive has an MBR. My mandrake boots from a floppy using= Lilo. My FreeBSD drive has an MBR so I currently have to swap the win98 = with the BSD drive as required. I tried to simply put an entry in Lilo for the BSD drive but have not had g= ood success defining the "boot=3D" variable. Perhaps th= ere is a table entry somewhere on the floppy and the set up needs to be s= imilar to the win98 entry, I don't know. My goal is to have Primary Master=3DWin98(w/MBR), Primary Slave=3DMandrake,= Secondary Master=3DToshiba CD-RW/DVD, Secondary Slave=3DFreeBSD.

Don't know if you're familiar with it from the Linux world and don= 't care for it, but if that's not the situation, you may want to do some = reading and see if it will work for you.
