I always had problems using it with more than 1 primary DOS partition. However in the tools directory there is a boot manager called osbs which is very powerful, and CAN boot from a second hard disk, an extended DOS partition, or any of the common unices At the moment, I have a system with 300 MB Win95, 140MB DOS 6, and 440MB FreeBSD 2.1.5 built using 2 IDE hard disks and managed with osbs, and it all works fine.
