The reason I choose OSboot, was because it can be setup to boot more 
than just 2 oses, like the default in fbsd, you can choose which is the 
default os to boot, and there is a timer (which you can choose) when the 
menu is displayed after 'x' seconds boot the default os.  Its simple to 
setup, and if you need to take it off the prog has an option to 
'backtrack' the mbr to before Osboot was used.....

Just my opinion.....
