It's the most flexible multiboot system I've used, and supports the Hurd, Linux, and *BSD directly. It uses a technic called chain-loading for "Unsupported" OS's - which I've used to Load W9x and BeOS. I thought I saw a note about it working with WNT in the docs, but can't seem to find it again. It's requirements are that you have a file system it understands (BSD, and FAT both work, there are probably others) to store the second-stage loader and configuration file on. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
