How did you get LILO to boot BSD?  I am trying to do this, too.

I am running BSD and WIN95 on the first drive, and LINUX and DOS6.22
on the second.  I haven't been able to get booteasy to boot the linux
stuff, so had been booting linux from floppy.  I got real creative and
set up LILO to boot WIN95, DOS, and Linux, but for some reason
WIN95 won't work.

Along the same lines, I have heard of this software called "System
Commander", but I can't seem to find any reference to it on the Web or
elsewhere.  Does anyone know who makes this?
