I use http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/

It can trick the OS a bit

"
Swapping driver ID
Smart BootManager can boot most operating systems from not only the 
first hard disk but also others. If you have more than one hard disk in 
a computer and run different operating systems on each, this feature is 
very useful.
"

Another useful tool is the gparted linux boot disk

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

It can even resize existing partitions for certain partition types  (not 
BSD :(, not tried plan9)
