(:->) You are aware that the boot2cfg() program lets you set a default partition and adjust the time out, at least, under FreeBSD, right? It's not as configurable as LILO, but I love the single-key selection and, especially, the remember-the-last-choice property; since 98% of the time the O/S I want is the last one I used, whereas that O/S is FreeBSD only about 93% of the time. > At any rate, thanks for the comments.

LILO might even work under emulation, but I doubt it's something very many people do. I'd sure have a rescue disk handy before trying it. -- Brian T.
