One location, where you can find it is

ftp.uni-duisburg.de: /pub/unix/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/patches/booteasy.uu
login: anonymous, password: FULL e-mail address.

also in the same directory you will find a program from Thomas Wolfram called
   os-bs135.exe
serving your needs. It allows up to 4 different operating systems to be
booted and is fully configurable by an installation program, for example,
you may apply a name for each OS showing up in a menu at boottime, define
the default OS to be booted after an adjustable timeout and choose, whether
the partition to be booted from has to be changed to an active partition
by os-bs if your OS requires it.

Hope this helps
Juergen
