Well, i use a triple boot (w98-for testing, w2k-for work and
fbsd-for really fun). I don't use the fbsd boot manager (since
before it, i had linux). First, I've installed '98, than w2k.
So, the dual boot 98-2k is solved by the ntloader. After this,
I've installed boot magic and it works just fine. Every time I add
or remove an OS (linux or bsd), it detect changes. So, the boot
magic have 2 options: "Win2k/98" that start ntldr, and "FreeBsd"
that start bsd.
A, btw, just a trick: i have a 20mb FAT partition ("c:"), on which
the boot magic is installed. So, if i just decide that i dont'
need the '98 or 2k partitions, i can remove them.
Good luck.
Stefan
