one very good point of grub is that it allows booting from a "logical" 
partition inside an "extended" partition : the number of bootable OSes is 
therefore un-limited, as log as they can live in an extended partition (that 
is, none of the BSD's for now ; you may also have for example up to 3x6=18 
versions of FreeBSD alongside your numerous versions of Linux or Zin$$)
