Works fine here too, with legacy support turned on.
I think XOSL needs a DOS or dedicated partition, requiring 300
kilobytes to install. No wonder it has more features. A dedicated
partition could even host a Linux+X+something boot manager monster...
;P
Bootman is indeed spartan. Quite enough for my needs. 16 colors should
be enough for everyone. ;) It plays well with other bootloaders too,
AFAIK, should you need to chainload one from bootman.
A while back I played with some MBR boot code of FreeBSD-origin, IIRC,
named boot0. I'm no x86 assembly genious, but it should be possible to
hack that code into something bootman-like, if there's not already
Haiku code for bootman.
