I've had good results using Ranish Partition Manager. A DOS program from http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part It has a tiny boot manager that resides in the MBR, or larger one if you need more verbose choices. I'd like a FreeBSD version really. It would be good if the DOS version could manage UFS too. The site is worth a visit for information on drive layouts and the boot process etc. Boot managers are not OS dependant (AFAIK). HTH John.
