The BeOS boot manager works great. Install Win98 first, then install linux-setup
lilo so that it boots from its hard drive partition, then install BeOS(max 1.5Gig
partition).
Make sure to use each individual operating system's fdisk utility to set up the
partitions for that particular operating system.
My home machine is setup like this
hda1 win98 4gig
hda2 linux swap 100M
hda3 extended 2.4 gig
hda4 BeOS 1.5 gig
hda3 is broken down
/ = 400M
/var = 400M
/usr = 1gig
/home = 600M
The beos boot manager installs to hda and it will boot to the linux partition hda5
to jumpstart lilo. Works great.
