GAG as a multiboot manager?
I triple boot OpenBSD, DragonFly and Windows XP (three hard disks) and use GAG boot manager: http://gag.sourceforge.net/
When discovering that it wasn't exactly straightforward to boot other operating systems - I did a little research and saw this mentioned often. It's easy to set up, it's completely independent of any OS and it works. |

GAG used to be very good last time I used it which was 2008 but it has some problems with Linux IIRC. I remember using it to dual boot Windows and OpenBSD on the laptop given to me by my employer. Windows was the only system but since it was useless to me I shrink NTFS and used OpenBSD only. I removed OpenBSD when my employment was terminated and just extend Windows to its original partition.

The last release was 4.10, in August 2008.
GAG can read but cannot issue write commands to my workstation's SATA controller. I used to circumvent this by booting GAG in a virtual machine, so that the drive could be attached as a Western Digital ATA/IDE controller. When it became clear this was abandonware, I abandoned that circumvention. |
