Message-ID: <58d9dd1a347fe5ee61e3eaa4cd695e75@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)
i use the following to multiboot,
and i'm very happy with it.
hget http://plan9.bell-labs.com/~rsc/mbr.bootmgr >/tmp/mbr.bootmgr
disk/mbr -m /tmp/mbr.bootmgr /dev/sdC0/data
you can also write it to a floppy to get
a floppy disk that does things like help
old bioses boot from bootable cds.
the source code is from
http://btmgr.sourceforge.net
(thanks to whoever it was on this list
for originally pointing this program out.)
except that i added Plan 9 to the list
of known disk ids, and i tweaked the
binary so that disk/mbr could install
the boot manager rather than need
their custom installer.
what i like the most is that all the
configuration can be done at the
boot screen; it doesn't require some
particular os for configuration.
