Doesn't anyone have a good, integrated scheme to boot
NT, win95, os2, freebsd, and linux off two hard disks with
a single boot manager...

I installed bootmanager from os/2 warp and I found it
impossibly bizarre to do anything useful with (I took os/2
off my system).

Booteasy seems to only want to boot from drive 0 (I have
two IDE drives...)

I've tried some boot managers...any good ideas (What I'm doing know
is going from one boot-manager giving control to another boot manager
(possibly giving control to a third boot manager).
