Well, XP aside, I think I'd smack him around first for using an
unfamiliar bootloader on a multiboot workstation.  I have a
triple-boot (yes, I retired one of the _four_ systems that were on it)
laptop, and believe me, when you finally get Windows, OpenBSD, and Red
Hat all coexisting peacefully on one hard drive, you do _not_
experiment with bootloaders unless you have a lot of free time on your
hands.  ;-)  I know how to make it work with LILO, and dammit, I ain't
gonna mess wit' dat.

And yes, I have three offsite copies of the printout of the output of
disklabel, because lemme tell ya how many new words I invented the day
I hammered out _those_ details ...
