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.
