I was wondering how to setup my machine to dual boot BSDi and Linux.
I don't think that LILO (linux's loader) will allow me to boot BSDi.

Can BSDi's boot loader all me to boot my linux drive or my windows95
drive? 


My machine is configured like this:
SD0 is BSDi
WD0 is Linux
WD1 is windows95


I have already used `disksetup -B sd0` and installed the 'bios' boot
blocks on my SCSI drive.
