Errm. /boot/loader doesn't reside in the 2nd stage, does it? I mean, there is a boot menu (the Forth-run thing with the ASCII daemon). If that's running in protected mode already, then one could jump back to real mode and boot into the selected disk/partition from there. I can't really see the problem? Alternatively, I'd just not display the ?? for "unrecognized" partitions. Just present the disk/partition choice with perhaps the FreeBSD partitions marked and the others unmarked. But "??" really looks like an error (and while at that, remove that horrible *BEEEEEEP* please). mkb.
