I used to use OSBS quite a bit. Unfortunately, it is getting a bit long in the tooth; it does not boot partitions that start beyond some point. (It only knows about older BIOS functions, I suspect, which are incapable of handling very large disks.) Still seems to work very nicely if you have each OS on a separate drive. It's also somewhat annoying that the OS-BS installer runs under MSDOS. Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
