Apparently, you are refering to: http://www.openbsd.org/o/faq/faq4.html#Multibooting funny, I was just doing a slight update to that section. It is dissapointing how many people will just stupidly enter a command line into their computer without understanding what it does. It is even more amazing how people will do this when it involves the BOOT LOADER. MY GOODNESS, do you have ANY idea what you could do to your data? The new text: "Note: this is a really good time to remind you that blindly typing commands in you don't understand is a really bad idea. This line will not work directly on most computers. It is left to the reader to adapt it to their machine." PLEASE re-read the very first paragraph of that section (the one starting with "Multibooting is having...") OVER AND OVER until it sinks in. This is really scary stuff, 'specially combined with some of your other questions.... Nick.
