Thanks for bringing this name up. Maybe FreeBSD should pass some donations through to this rEFIt successor and start execution where that one ends. I have always been living in fear of using those badly documented Free(and other)BSD boot things, for true multiboot etc. i always had to end up with lilo or (horrors!) grub2. I can tell stories of systems where the Debian grub messed up freebsd booting, and the FreeBSD grub port only found freebsd. This is only fun for i-do-not-know-who, but anyway these have a vivid internet connection and multiple boxes available. I finally have found a home with syslinux and refit/refind. (Which is still very picky when you mess up configuration entries. For example it will find anything and include a manually entered configuration, but if you mess up the latter it will just break.) --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
