Grub is heavy. The FreeBsd boot selector is much more efficient. It is more suited for an old laptop. The FreeBsd boot selector allows a one keystroke selection. Grub forces you to press arrow keys until the curser is over the desired option. I put the FreeBsd boot selector into the MBR and for Linux Grub or Lilo into a primary or extended slice (partition). -Hanspeterhelp
