Grub capabilities (Re: Multiple Bootable FreeBSD partitions?)

 Me too. WinXP, RedHat, FreeBSD-4.10 and Solaris8 live
 in my laptop. And RedHat has 2 kernels bootable. So I have
 5 OSes bootable. If 2 linux live in dos basic partition each other
 and each linux create extend partition, is it possible to create
 10 bootable partition with grub?

one very good point of grub is that it allows booting from a logical 
partition inside an extended partition : the number of bootable OSes is 
therefore un-limited, as log as they can live in an extended partition (that 
is, none of the BSD's for now ; you may also have for example up to 3x6=18 
versions of FreeBSD alongside your numerous versions of Linux or Zin$$)

If space of HDD allows and linux can create next extended
partition by installing one after another on extended
partition, Grub may have bootable partition infinitely like
reflexive loop. If so, You may be able to have all OSes
being in this world even on a laptop. I don't know if it is worth
or not though. But it's amasing.
