I use the OSBS beta, that comes with the FreeBSD CD. (Allows booting from 
multiple partitions / drives)

I really like Pfdisk, also off the FreeBSD CD. I keep a copy of Pfdisk on my 
favorite tools floppy.

I think they're in the Tools directory off of the root of the CD.

After browsing and searching you site, I was unable to find any
information on your boot loader.

Specifically, the little boot menu program that allows the user to pick
which partition they want to load from.
I caint seem to find the exact name of the program or it's source.

Although I like FreeBSD, I have a situation that requires Linux, and the
'LILO' (Linux Loader) is rather cheesy compared to the FreeBSD loader.

What would be nice is to have your fdisk program and that loader as a
separate package that could be installed on any system, i.e.
Linux/FreeBSD, Win, DOS, OS/2, et al.

If IBM had marketed their OS/2 FDISK program for $10, they'd have sold a
ton of them.

Thanks in advance for any help!
