If so, it should be moved to the sysadmin part of the handbook. That article uses FreeBSD drives /dev/wd0 and /dev/wd1 and refers to OS/2 and Windows 95. Those are all dead, although one is a zombie. Times have left that article behind. A usable multi-boot article for today would start with how VM software is easier, simpler, safer, and more versatile. If the user insists on multi-boot, subjects that are important now are grub, GPT versus MBR, extended MBR partitions, and EasyBCD.
