I'm using GAG (http://gag.sf.net) as bootmanager without problems to boot 
FreeBsd 5.2.1, Win XP and Mandrake 10.0. The nice part is that you can boot 
from floppy, configure it to your needs  and then save that config on floppy 
and write it to your harddisk. So in case of booting probs (or a win xp 
reinstall...), you can get your floppy back in and boot/restore without any 
problems. Works great for me !
