But MBR is where things like booteasy and grub also live?? So that functionality is lost. Or is boot0 called by booteasy/grub? If not then this does not fullfill the requirements that I want a selector at start time. And it is not very clear to me that this would allow me to boot win 2k and/or win 64XP. Next to having tried it superfluously, and not getting it to work. It kept getting to booteasy. But that very well could be pilot error since I did not spent too much time on it --WjWReceived on Thu May 13 2004 - 13:00:45 UTC
