I recently started working some ports to FreeBSD. I had some problems/concerns about trying to stack too many OSes onto a boot manager. I found a really great price ($23.00 U.S.) for the removable hard drive racks. Found the best price in Computer Shopper and ordered a batch. Takes about 30 secs to swap the drives and reset the boot BIOS. You don't have to reset the BIOS if you have the same size drives... Works great... Beats the hell out of losing all your other OSes/data. I just tar or tape the code to be ported. Charlie
