[GLLUG] Windows 2K and OpenBSD playing nice together

[Adam McDougall]

I assume you could use OSBS (for example) or any other boot loader that
gives you a choice of which partition to boot.  It would be simple to install
the MBR boot loader from FreeBSD onto any computer, which does just that.

Speaking of trying BSDs, I've been meaning to try installing PC-BSD to see
their installer and windows-y package installation, I just don't have a 
spare computer very handy.  I burned the cd and the installer looks pretty
nice to me, but I don't have spare partitions on my laptop at this time.
PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD under the hood, probably just dressed up with 
more user-friendlyness in the areas that need it.  Personally I prefer to
keep my admin skills sharp for work, and enjoy it, but I wouldn't mind seeing
what PC-BSD has to offer (I think they are planning to import the installer
into FreeBSD).

   If OpenBSD doesn't have a boot manager, Clay, can you at least add one?  Or 
   do you always need another OS that provides one if you want to have multiple 
   OSs installed?
