All three OS's are on seperate drives. My win98 drive has an MBR. My mandrake boots from a floppy using Lilo. My FreeBSD drive has an MBR so I currently have to swap the win98 with the BSD drive as required. I tried to simply put an entry in Lilo for the BSD drive but have not had good success defining the "boot=<partition/kernel>" variable. Perhaps there is a table entry somewhere on the floppy and the set up needs to be similar to the win98 entry, I don't know. My goal is to have Primary Master=Win98(w/MBR), Primary Slave=Mandrake, Secondary Master=Toshiba CD-RW/DVD, Secondary Slave=FreeBSD.

Don't know if you're familiar with it from the Linux world and don't care for it, but if that's not the situation, you may want to do some reading and see if it will work for you.
