Hey there folks, just curious, has anybody come up with (or does there =
already exist a bootloader?) that will work with WinXP? I've got =
NetBSD-1.5.2, XP, and Slackware 8.0 on this machine, and it's getting a =
little old using bootdisks to get at Linux or nBSD, and so far, I've had =
NO luck getting a bootloader setup.
And as an aside, is there a way to pass an argument to the kernel to get =
different console sizes? with lilo and linux, I just pass vga=3Dask or =
vga=3Dx to the kernel from the boot prompt, and it gives me different =
resolutions to choose from, I just find 80x24 to be really annoying.
