Here is what I did: 1) Shrunk Win98SE partition from 12GB (the whole disk) to 6GB with Patition Magic 5.0; 2) Installed BootMagic 5.0. 3) Installed OpenBSD on a 2GB partition just after the Win98SE partition. 4) Made sure the partition is on BootMagic, made sure OpenBSD boots 5) Installed FreeBSD, left the MBR alone and added FreeBSD on BootMagic menu.
