Hi Ken,

when you like experimenting with different OS's on one
machine, you shoud try GNU's "Grand Unified Bootloader"
grub.
You can install it via /usr/ports/sysutils .
Then you have to read the man/info pages how to write it on
the MBR .
You also can write grub to a floppy, in case some windoze or
penguin destroys your MBR.


Uli.
