There are various hacks floating around which address this problem.
Release 0.1 is supposed to address this problem and should come out any
day now. If you are impatient I can give you a dump on past postings which
address this problem. Currenlty, I have a crude hack which allows me to 
to run dos or bsd. So far my dos partition has not been corrupted, so I 
am lucky.
