I used to need such a bootloader to boot from the CD on my Pentium

including Smart Boot Manager (http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ ; site
somewhat broken, but individual HTML files still work fine).

All GPL'd code. I don't know if we have a bootman replacement yet (and
judging from some superficial digging of the sources tree, we don't),
but this might be a good place to start in case we don't.



Sorry to go off-topic, but as a note: If you want a (Or to create a) boot
manager, you
can also look at GAG (The Graphical Boot Manger) for inspiration (And
code, it's GPL too).
