I'm using BootMagic to boot both Win98 and FreeBSD 4.5. I got BootMagic
as part of a Mandrake boxed set when I first started using Linux. I
never used it, always using Grub or Lilo instead. I used FBSD's boot
manager, but found the default being the last used OS did not work well
in my situation. I needed something that I could set the default to
Windows for the rest of the family. BootMagic does that for me.
Previously, when running Win98/Linux/BSD, then Lilo did the same.
