Has anyone ever set up a system to boot both 2.2.7 and 3.0?  I'm having some
difficulty setting up such a system.  It seems no matter what I do, I get
2.2.7 when I boot.  

The partition map on the disk looks like this:
	 500M	MSDOS
	2048M	FreeBSD 2.2.7
	2048M	FreeBSD 3.0
	 1.5M	FreeBSD 2.2.7 data filesystem

Each version of FreeBSD was independently installed from distribution.
Booteasy gives me options for each of the 4 partitons (1 DOS and 2,3,4 BSD).
I can boot Dos by pressing F1.  If I press F2, F3 (or even F4) I get FreeBSD
2.2.7.  A clue would be most welcome.

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.  In both
instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged.
And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the
air--however slight--lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
