  The PC wants to book off of wd0 ("C:") and drags in the
  MBR from that disk as part of the IPL.  Since BootEasy
  replaces the traditional "MBR", it can then present
  a menu of boot choices -- something like:
    F1 wd0 partition 1
    F2 wd0 partition 2
    F3 wd0 partition 3
    F4 wd0 partition 4
    F5 wd1
> Pressing F5 gives you a similar menu:
    F1 wd1 partition 1
    F2 wd1 partition 2
    F3 wd1 partition 3
    F4 wd1 partition 4
    F5 wd0

Are these partitions all primary?  Can BootEasy recognize a logical partition,
or primary only?  I have several boot managers downloaded, am most inclined to
use LILO.
