And: For NT?
I guess no real operating system will allow booting another one.
It might allow scheduling a restart of the computer and autoselect another
OS by the console/boostrap loader; but to get this working with NT is a lot
of hard work in the general case (the easy cases are described in the
FreeBSD FAQ).
