I use Acronis Operating System Selector rather than pqmagic because a) It knows ext3 and reiserfs and b) it's cheap. My default Mandrake install always wants to install to MBR - it would be nice if it could recognise acronis, as it gets very messy if I'm too quick on the install and forget to set to the boot sector. -- Gentoo Linux (portage-2.0.27).
