Hi all, In the /tools directory of all FreeBSD distribution there is an old program named OS-BS written by Thomas Wolfram. It is a multi-OS boot loader for MBR (there are two versions: osbs135.exe and osbsbeta.exe) It is rather old, works only under DOS, does not support 1024 cylinders boundary limitation, partitions hiding, etc.. Moreover os-bs has been evolved into commercial SystemSelector so it is no longer maintained by Thomas. However at the time being I continue the development of os-bs under the name "mbldr", see: http://mbldr.sourceforge.net/ It is under BSD license, has many cool features, ported under Linux, BSD and Windows, supports extended partitions, etc. I would like to suggest replacing os-bs with the mbldr at some point for FreeBSD distribution if it is acceptable. Could someone recommend me who I should contact (or what mailing list should I use) to discuss this opportunity? WBR, Arnold Shade
