   I found a real cool reference that discusses multi-booting
   WinNT, Win95, DOS and Linux using the WinNT multi-booter.
   I am planning to try to adopt the approach for use with
   FreeBSD as the UNIX rather than Linux (but haven't gotten there
   yet). However, the reference does discuss how WinNT, Win95 and DOS
   all rename the boot sector hidden files and how to manage them
   with the WinNT multi-booter. Caveat - I have not attempted to
   use the info yet - I just found the web page. Nonetheless,
   here's the URL: http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~sedmison/directboot.html

   Good luck, and please let me know if it works (via email if you wish).

After my previous posting, I did sucessfully use the info in
the above-referenced web page. I found one minor error in the
section which describes editing the boot.ini file which I
have sent to the page owner. I now have a system which multi-boots
DOS 6.22, Win95 and WinNT sucessfully.
